About

Dr. Weiling Luan is a leading researcher in the thermal and radiation protection of electronic systems for extreme environments, with a particular focus on nuclear robotics. Her major contributions center on the development of passive thermal control strategies using phase change materials (PCMs) to safeguard critical electronics, such as motor drivers, from the combined threats of high heat, confined spaces, and intense radiation. Her most-cited work, "Protection of electronic devices on nuclear rescue robot: Passive thermal control" (2016), has garnered 24 citations, establishing a foundational approach for this niche field. In a subsequent study (2015, 12 citations), she demonstrated an effective PCM-based thermal control system that addresses the challenges of tightly integrated electrical components operating under extreme conditions. Her research has achieved a significant milestone: ensuring that motor drivers can function for 98 minutes in a 100°C ambient environment with a total radiation dose of 4.95×10⁵ rad, meeting the basic operational requirements for nuclear rescue robots. Dr. Luan’s work is pivotal for enhancing the reliability and longevity of robots deployed in hazardous, high-stakes scenarios, directly impacting the safety and efficacy of disaster response technologies.
