About

Monique Ngan is a researcher whose work bridges intelligent robotics and automated laboratory workflows, with a focus on enhancing precision and efficiency in both industrial and scientific settings. Her early contributions include the development of an intelligent robotic framework for automated assembly, which addresses key challenges in manufacturing by reducing labor participation while improving flexibility, efficiency, and product quality. Though published in 2002, this foundational work has garnered 3 citations, reflecting its relevance to ongoing advances in industrial automation. More recently, Ngan has turned her attention to the chemical sciences, pioneering an automated workflow for surfactant critical micelle concentration determination. This 2025 study, with 2 citations to date, introduces a novel, high-throughput method that streamlines a traditionally labor-intensive process, offering significant implications for materials science and pharmaceutical formulation. By integrating robotics with analytical chemistry, Ngan demonstrates a unique ability to apply automation principles across disciplines. Her work exemplifies how robotic systems can be adapted beyond manufacturing to accelerate scientific discovery, making her a notable figure in the convergence of engineering and applied chemistry.
