About
Walid Amokrane is a researcher at the forefront of robotic micromanipulation and targeted drug delivery, with a specialized focus on the inner ear. His work centers on developing innovative magnetic actuation systems to precisely steer therapeutic microparticles to sensitive, hard-to-reach locations in the human body. Amokrane’s most impactful contribution is the "Macro–micromanipulation platform for inner ear drug delivery" (2018), which has garnered 44 citations, demonstrating its significance in the field. This platform integrates a 6-degree-of-freedom serial manipulator with a custom permanent-magnet-based actuator, enabling the precise pulling and steering of magnetic micro-beads. His related work on the "Design and modeling of a two-magnet actuator" (2020) and the "Forward kinematics of serial manipulator based on permanent magnets for micro-bead propulsion" (2017) further establishes his expertise in modeling and controlling these complex systems. Amokrane’s research is notable for its direct clinical application, offering an open-loop drug delivery strategy to the cochlea, as detailed in his 2018 study. By combining robotics, magnetics, and biomedical engineering, he is pioneering reliable, non-invasive solutions for treating delicate auditory structures, positioning him as a key innovator in the future of precision medicine.
