My name is Xianghua Chu, and I’m based in Germany. I hold a PhD in engineering and recently completed an MBA. I have worked as a Senior Automation Engineer for over five years, with extensive hands-on experience on the Hamilton STAR and VANTAGE platforms. I also developed a dual-arm robotic system for fully automated sample preparation workflows.

Recently, I’ve been exploring ways to integrate AI into lab automation — including using large language models (LLMs) to automatically generate Hamilton Venus methods.

I’m excited to join this forum! In the past, I often had to troubleshoot automation challenges on my own, so I truly value the opportunity to exchange ideas and collaborate with other professionals in this field.

Looking forward to learning from and contributing to the community.
