About
Wei Church Poh is a leading researcher in soft robotics and advanced materials, with a particular focus on electrochemical actuators and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). His most-cited work, a 2022 paper with over 100 citations, introduces an ionic COF-based electrolyte that enables fast-response, ultra-low voltage electrochemical actuators. This breakthrough addresses critical challenges in soft robotics—namely, the durability and efficiency of electrically activated actuators—by achieving large deformability at minimal power consumption. Poh’s research bridges materials chemistry and device engineering, demonstrating how two-dimensional COFs can be tailored for high-performance ionic transport and mechanical actuation. His contributions have significant implications for next-generation soft robots, biomedical devices, and adaptive systems that require precise, low-energy motion. With a citation impact that underscores the relevance of his work, Poh continues to push the boundaries of smart materials, offering scalable solutions for flexible, durable, and efficient actuation technologies. His innovative approach positions him as a key figure in the intersection of nanomaterials and robotics, inspiring future developments in autonomous, soft-bodied systems.
