About

Kwok‐Fan Chow is a leading innovator in the field of electroanalytical chemistry and sensor technology, with a particular focus on developing scalable, wireless electrochemical platforms. His most celebrated contribution is the invention of a large-scale, wireless electrochemical bipolar electrode microarray, reported in a seminal 2009 paper that has garnered over 235 citations. This work revolutionized the design of electrochemical arrays by demonstrating how 1,000 individual bipolar electrodes could be controlled using just two driving electrodes and a simple power supply, dramatically simplifying instrumentation while enabling high-throughput analysis. In this system, faradaic processes at the cathode end are correlated with light emission, allowing for visual, real-time detection without complex wiring. Chow’s research bridges fundamental electrochemistry with practical device engineering, offering powerful tools for biosensing, drug screening, and environmental monitoring. His achievements have established him as a key figure in the advancement of miniaturized, user-friendly electrochemical systems, inspiring new directions in lab-on-a-chip technologies and point-of-care diagnostics.
