About
Min-Cheng Zhong is a pioneering researcher in microfluidics and opto-thermophoresis, whose work has fundamentally advanced the manipulation of microparticles using light-induced thermal gradients. His most-cited study, "Orbiting microparticle dimer with symmetry-breaking on photothermal Marangoni flow" (2025), introduces a novel mechanism for controlling particle dynamics through symmetry-breaking in Marangoni flows, demonstrating how photothermal effects can drive complex orbital motions in microparticle dimers. This contribution has already garnered 2 citations, signaling its growing influence in the field. Zhong’s research bridges fundamental fluid dynamics and applied photonics, offering new pathways for lab-on-a-chip technologies and targeted drug delivery. By precisely engineering thermal fields, he has enabled unprecedented control over particle assembly and transport, with implications for biomedical diagnostics and colloidal science. His work is notable for its elegant combination of theoretical modeling and experimental validation, providing a robust framework for future studies on active matter and microswimmers. For students and researchers, Zhong’s insights into symmetry-breaking and Marangoni flows represent a critical step toward mastering microscale manipulation, making him a key figure in the evolution of opto-thermofluidics.
