About
Karam Hwang is a researcher specializing in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems and micro-robotics, with a particular focus on developing innovative solutions for implantable and miniaturized robotic systems. Hwang's most significant contributions center on the intersection of electromagnetic engineering and biomedical micro-robotics, pioneering methods to simultaneously deliver both electrical power and mechanical propulsion force to millimeter-scale robots through wireless means. Hwang's most impactful work, "High-Efficiency Wireless Power and Force Transfer for a Micro-Robot Using a Multiaxis AC/DC Magnetic Coil" (2017), has garnered 25 citations and demonstrates a novel dual-coil architecture capable of transmitting AC power and DC propulsion force concurrently — a breakthrough for untethered micro-robot operation. Complementary research on coil miniaturization for implantable micro-robots, cited 14 times, further advances the practicality of these systems by optimizing helical coil geometries for efficient energy and torque generation in confined spaces. Across a focused body of work published between 2016 and 2017, Hwang has established foundational principles for wirelessly powered micro-robotic propulsion, making meaningful contributions to fields such as minimally invasive medicine and autonomous micro-scale systems.
