About

Puhua Tang is a researcher specializing in medical robotics, computational fluid dynamics, and biomedical engineering, with a particular focus on minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Tang's most significant contribution lies in the development and optimization of magnetically controlled capsule robots for gastrointestinal applications. His 2021 study on orthogonal optimal design of these systems, which has garnered 15 citations, advanced the field by establishing comprehensive magnetic driving and fluid measurement frameworks using permanent magnet methods, enabling more precise parameter optimization for in-pipe capsule navigation. Building on earlier foundational work, Tang's 2014 investigation into fluid flow characteristics within capsule robot pipelines — combining particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations — provided critical insights into the hydrodynamic behavior surrounding these devices. More recently, his 2023 research expanded into vascular interventional robotics, examining hemodynamic behavior during robotic treatment using fluid–structure interaction modeling, addressing a previously underexplored gap in the field. His work on spiral in-pipe robot dynamics further demonstrates a broad engineering perspective spanning mechanical modeling and structural optimization. Collectively, Tang's research bridges robotics, fluid mechanics, and clinical medicine, offering meaningful contributions toward safer and more effective minimally invasive medical procedures.
