Sung Kwon Cho has been working on designing and fabricating micro-sensors/actuators using MEMS technologies for biomedical applications, such as droplet-based lab-on-a-chip using an electrical control of surface tension (electrowetting) and micro shear stress sensors to link real-time shear stress with cellular and molecular responses of endothelial cells. Currently, his research direction is to develop micro/nano devices that enable us to efficiently manipulate biomolecules (DNA and proteins), cells, functional particles and micro/nano fluids, and to investigate underlying scientific/engineering phenomena in these systems.
