1,630 funded out of 11,573 applications of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Individual Fellowships (IF) 2020.

Dr Liu has been awarded €212,933 as PI for the MSCA-IF grant (101018793) named “OMEGA: On the ModElling of micro-robots in the Gut: a non-smooth dynamics Approach”.

A highly experienced fellow with background in applied dynamics and control will work on this 24 month project on mathematical modelling of the intestinal tract which can be used for simulating different micro-robots to conduct tasks, such as biopsy, drug delivery and therapies. The outcomes of this fellowship will potentially contribute to improving the wellbeing of European society by developing state-of-the-art GI diagnostic tools, enhancing the conventional GI diagnostic procedures, and advancing early cancer diagnosis.
