About

Yubin Pu is a researcher specializing in advanced micro-manufacturing, with a particular focus on non-conventional machining processes for difficult-to-machine materials. Their key research areas include micro electro discharge machining (micro-EDM), servo scanning techniques, and the fabrication of micro structures in shape memory alloys such as nickel–titanium (NiTi). Pu’s most notable contribution is the development of a specialized 3D servo scanning micro-EDM process for machining pierced micro structures in NiTi alloy tubes, a material notoriously challenging to process due to its high elasticity and severe tool wear in conventional mechanical methods. This work, published in 2019 and cited 7 times, addresses a critical need in biomedical device fabrication, particularly for active catheters and other minimally invasive surgical tools. By enabling precise micro-structuring of NiTi, Pu’s research advances the practical application of smart materials in medical robotics and implantable devices. Their work demonstrates a creative integration of servo control and electrical discharge principles, offering a viable pathway for manufacturing complex micro features in superelastic alloys. For students and researchers in micro-manufacturing and biomedical engineering, Pu’s contributions highlight the importance of process innovation in overcoming material limitations.
