Pingan ZHU
- Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong
Pingan Zhu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at City University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on microscale fluid flows, encompassing microfluidics, fluid dynamics, surface wettability, micro/nanorobotics, and biomimetics. Dr. Zhu has developed the Microfluidics-Enabled Soft Manufacturing (MESM) platform, which leverages microfluidically generated fluid templates to fabricate materials with programmable properties and functionalities. MESM presents a transformative strategy for advanced manufacturing by enabling the scalable, high-precision production of micro-/nano-mechanical systems, offering a promising solution to the long-standing trade-off between precision and throughput. His contributions have been recognized through multiple honors, including the IAAM Scientist Medal, Micromachines Young Investigator Award, and TechConnect Global Innovation Award.
