Personal profile
Education
Dr. Lau Gih-Keong received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, in 2007, and the M.Eng. and B.Eng degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Nanyang Technological University in 2000 and 1998 respectively.
Research Interests
My research expertise is in the field of applied mechanics, and mechanical and aerospace engineering. Vision of my research is to innovate the actuator and sensor technologies. My research solved technological challenges by extreme mechanics, multi-disciplinary design and analysis, and micro-and-nano-engineering. This brought breakthroughs in the performances to micro-actuators, electro-active polymer actuators, soft and aerial robotics, smart windows, and other tunable acoustic/optical devices.
