Lower limb fractures, especially in older adults, are commonly treated with intramedullary nailing, but implant-cement loosening under stress remains a challenge, often requiring revision surgeries. Our research focuses on developing a wireless actuation and implant method to improve stability and reduce the need for additional surgeries, particularly in elderly patients.
The project has been published in Device (Cell Press)
This device is a wirelessly controlled mechanical system developed to investigate tissue properties under different conditions, incorporating advanced sensing technologies for accurate analysis. The ultimate aim is to enhance drug screening through the Organ-on-a-Chip approach.

Our research aims to deliver medication to blood vessels noninvasively while keeping the sample inside an X-ray chamber by leveraging magnetic actuation. As part of this effort, I developed a four-wheel omni-wheel platform for a three-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, illustrating the feasibility of wireless actuation in remote or otherwise inaccessible environments.
