About

Prajwal Agrawal is a rising leader at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and microfluidics, pioneering techniques that bridge the macro- and microscale worlds. His research focuses on developing novel 3D printing methodologies and robotic systems for precise material and liquid manipulation. Agrawal’s major contributions include the creation of 3D-printable colloidal photonic crystals (166 citations), a breakthrough enabling the fabrication of materials with tailored optical properties. He also developed a robot-assisted acoustofluidic end effector (83 citations), a system that addresses the critical challenge of microscale liquid handling by integrating acoustic forces with robotics for precise, contactless manipulation of expensive reagents. Most recently, Agrawal introduced SonoPrint (32 citations), an acoustically assisted volumetric 3D printing technique for composites that allows for the in-situ orientation of reinforcement fibers within a printed structure—a significant advancement for aerospace and biomedical applications. His work, which has already garnered over 280 citations, is redefining the capabilities of additive manufacturing and lab automation, offering scalable solutions for creating complex, functional materials and devices.
