About
Puskal Kunwar is a pioneering researcher in advanced 3D bioprinting and hydrogel fabrication, whose work sits at the exciting intersection of additive manufacturing, soft robotics, and tissue engineering. His research focuses on developing innovative light-based printing technologies capable of producing complex, high-resolution structures from mechanically challenging hydrogel materials. Kunwar's most influential contribution, "Hybrid Laser Printing of 3D, Multiscale, Multimaterial Hydrogel Structures" (2019, 67 citations), introduced a groundbreaking hybrid laser printing technology that overcomes longstanding limitations in fabricating multi-material, multiscale hydrogel architectures. Complementing this, his work on optical projection lithography for stretchable double-network hydrogels (2019, 45 citations) significantly advanced the production of tough, high-performance materials suited for soft robotics and biomedical applications. More recently, Kunwar has pushed boundaries further with his development of Meniscus-enabled Projection Stereolithography (MAPS), enabling sophisticated multi-material gradient printing with remarkable precision. His 2021 review of double-network hydrogel printing consolidates the field's progress while charting future directions. With over 130 cumulative citations, Kunwar's body of work represents meaningful advancements in making complex hydrogel fabrication more accessible, precise, and applicable to real-world biomedical and engineering challenges.
