About
Z. H. Cho is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of laboratory automation, additive manufacturing, and open-source scientific instrumentation. Their work centers on democratizing self-driving laboratories by leveraging low-cost 3D printing technologies to create affordable, automated lab equipment. Cho’s most cited paper, “Democratizing self-driving labs: advances in low-cost 3D printing for laboratory automation” (2025, 13 citations), demonstrates how consumer-grade FDM 3D printers can be transformed into liquid handlers, imaging devices, robotic arms, and bioprinters—achieving cost reductions of 90–99% compared to commercial alternatives. This breakthrough makes high-throughput experimentation accessible to resource-limited labs and educational institutions. Cho’s contributions have significant implications for accelerating materials discovery, chemical synthesis, and biomedical research by removing financial barriers to automation. Their work exemplifies a commitment to open-source principles and reproducibility, inspiring a new generation of researchers to build their own laboratory tools. With growing citation impact, Cho is establishing a reputation as a leader in the movement toward accessible, self-driving scientific workflows.
