Professor Cheng Sun's Research Group

Welcome to the Sun Research Group at Northwestern!

The Sun Research Group at Northwestern University is a highly interdisciplinary team focused on the synergy among diverse research fields, including additive manufacturing, optics/photonics, and robotics. Our work centers on innovations in manufacturing technologies and their applications in personalized and precision medicine. We design and develop advanced devices to address critical clinical challenges. Examples include a wide range of 3D-printed bioresorbable scaffolds that promote tissue regeneration, highly sensitive ultrasound detectors for deep tissue imaging, super-resolution microscopes that uncover complex biological processes at the molecular level, and medical robots advancing toward fully autonomous robotic surgery.
