About
M.Sc Lukman Hanafi is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of micro-robotics and fluid dynamics, with a primary focus on the mechanics of helical propulsion in complex environments. His most-cited study, "Helical Propulsion in a Viscous Heterogeneous Medium" (2020), provides a foundational computational framework for understanding how externally-actuated helical robots navigate through viscous media filled with microscopic obstacles. By implementing the method of regularized Stokeslets in three-dimensional space, Hanafi precisely modeled the Stokes flow around both the robot and immersed spherical microparticles, offering critical insights into the drag and interference effects that govern motion in heterogeneous biological or industrial fluids. This work, with 3 citations, has contributed to the growing field of targeted drug delivery and micro-surgery, where such robots must traverse complex bodily environments. Hanafi’s research stands out for its rigorous mathematical modeling, bridging theoretical fluid mechanics with practical robotic design, and has been recognized as a valuable resource for engineers developing next-generation micro-swimmers.
