Zhikai HUANG (黄志凯)

Innovating for the better future.

I am a Ph.D. student in the Integrated Devices, Electronics, and Systems (IDEAS) group at ETH Zurich. My PhD research is focusing on integration of origami microactuators and microstructures with CMOS to faciliate on-chip 3D biological interfacing.

Prior to my PhD, I obtained my bachelor's degree from Xi'an Jiaotong University and master's degree from ETH Zurich. I was a visiting research intern at McGill University.
