About

Nitesh Nama is pioneering the frontier of microscale robotics and lab-on-a-chip technologies, with a focus on acoustofluidic and ultrasound-driven systems. His work addresses critical challenges in liquid manipulation and microrobotics, where precise control at the microscale remains difficult due to reagent costs and complex sample preparation. Nama’s most cited paper, “A robot-assisted acoustofluidic end effector” (2022, 83 citations), introduces a novel approach to microscale liquid handling by integrating robotic systems with acoustofluidics, bridging the gap between macroscale automation and microfluidic precision. He further advanced the field with “Steerable acoustically powered starfish-inspired microrobot” (2023, 32 citations), demonstrating bio-inspired designs for targeted therapeutics and microscale assembly in aquatic environments. Most recently, his work on “Ultrasound-driven programmable artificial muscles” (2025, 9 citations) tackles the challenge of dynamic programmability in artificial muscles, offering scalable and responsive solutions for medical and technological applications. Nama’s contributions are shaping the future of microrobotics and lab automation, with his research garnering increasing attention for its potential in precision medicine, microsurgery, and environmental remediation.
