Chi Cong Nguyen is an Associate Lecturer at the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, UNSW Sydney. His research focuses on the development of medical devices using soft robotics and flexible biosensors for a wide range of healthcare applications. Among his recent scientific breakthroughs are the electricity-free soft fibrous syringe architecture (SFSA) and motor-free surgical robotic systems (mfSRS). Chi Cong has published over 30 journal articles in prestigious journals such as Advanced ScienceScience RoboticsACS NanoSmallAdvanced Intelligent Systems, and IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics, as well as in top conference proceedings in robotics (e.g., ICRA). He also holds one Australia patent. In 2019, Chi Cong graduated as Valedictorian with an excellent Degree of Engineer in Mechatronics from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST). Following his graduation, he worked as a Mechanical Designer on a 5G project at Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (VHT) in Vietnam for two years. In 2021, he was awarded a full scholarship from the Vingroup Scholarship Program in Vietnam to pursue a PhD at the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering (GSBmE), UNSW Sydney.
