The primary aim of my research is to develop innovative methods to move objects without relying on traditional mechanical parts. Instead, we harness forces generated by waves, such as sound waves or light waves, to create motion. Imagine objects moving without any visible push or pull – that’s the essence of solid state actuation.

This technology has the potential to revolutionize various fields, from advanced medical devices to innovative manufacturing techniques. By understanding and utilizing these invisible forces, we can open new frontiers in how we interact with and control the physical world.
