About

Stephan C. F. Neuhauss is pioneering the intersection of acoustofluidics and robotics, developing innovative tools for microscale liquid handling and biological manipulation. His major contributions include the creation of a robot-assisted acoustofluidic end effector, which addresses critical challenges in microscale liquid manipulation by combining robotic precision with acoustic forces—a breakthrough that has already garnered 83 citations. He further advanced the field with the SonoRotor platform, an acoustic rotational robotic system specifically designed for orienting zebrafish embryos and larvae during microscopy, enabling high-throughput biological imaging with 14 citations. Most recently, Neuhauss introduced ultrasound-driven programmable artificial muscles, a transformative approach to creating dynamic, scalable, and responsive actuators for robotics and medical applications, earning 9 citations since its 2025 publication. His work uniquely bridges engineering and biology, providing practical solutions for sample preparation and live-organism studies. Neuhauss’s research stands out for its focus on non-invasive, contactless manipulation, making it highly relevant for labs seeking to automate complex biological workflows. His achievements highlight a career dedicated to translating acoustic principles into functional robotic systems that push the boundaries of precision biology.
