about
Hello! I am Tongil Park, a research scientist at Korea Institute of Medical Microrobotics. My focus is on developing novel soft actuators and robots and exploring their underlying mechanisms and dynamics with diverse approaches.
I am a recipient of the Jeollanamdo Provincial Government Scholarship for Study Overseas 2023.
I am seeking to enroll in a PhD program in mechanical engineering for Fall 2024.
