Steven L. Neale is a Professor of Micro Engineering and the Head of the Systems, Power and Energy Research Division at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow. He joined the University of Glasgow in 2009 as a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow. Neale's research includes the development of biomedical devices for medical diagnostics and therapies, particularly using optoelectronic tweezers for micro-manipulation of particles in suspension. His work significantly contributes to the field of optoelectronic tweezers (OET), extending capabilities for the manipulation of particles ranging from 1nm to 1mm, demonstrating the versatility of 'touch-free' control mechanisms. Neale is actively exploring applications in the creation of energy storage devices, actuator swarm control strategies, and the translation of research on medical devices from the lab to clinical use. He has received several grants supporting innovative projects such as supportless 3D printing, hybrid acoustic electric tweezers, and micro actuators controlled by optoelectronic tweezers. Neale also teaches various engineering courses including Microscopy Optics III, Microelectronics Consumer Product, and Renewable Sustainable Energy.
