About
Ruyi Wen is a rising innovator in the field of bioinspired soft actuators and liquid manipulation, with a focus on designing intelligent materials for precise fluid control. Their research centers on developing hydrogel-based and magneto-responsive tubular actuators that mimic biological processes—such as gastrointestinal peristalsis—to achieve controlled transport of challenging liquids, including high-viscosity fluids. Wen’s major contributions include pioneering a gastrointestinal-peristalsis-inspired hydrogel actuator capable of near-infrared (NIR)-controlled transport of viscous liquids, a breakthrough with significant implications for microfluidics, biosensing, and printing. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 21 citations, reflecting its immediate impact. In 2024, Wen advanced the field further with a magneto-controlled tubular liquid actuator featuring pore engineering, enabling flexible regulation of liquid droplets during transport—a critical step toward complex, programmable liquid handling. With a growing citation record and a focus on solving real-world challenges in liquid transport and regulation, Ruyi Wen’s research stands at the forefront of soft robotics and microfluidic technologies, offering promising pathways for applications in lab-on-a-chip devices and industrial printing systems.
