About
Bonan Sun is pioneering the frontier of magnetic soft robotics, with a focus on creating intelligent, remotely actuated systems for biomedical applications. His research masterfully integrates 3D printing, hydrogel composites, and programmable magnetization to develop millirobots and continuum robots capable of complex shape transformations and precise navigation. Sun’s most cited work, "Magnetic Arthropod Millirobots Fabricated by 3D‐Printed Hydrogels" (94 citations), demonstrates his ability to engineer bio-inspired, untethered devices with fast, programmable deformation. He further advanced the field by introducing a magnetothermal effect for reprogrammable shape shifting (26 citations) and by designing a magnetic hydrogel composite for targeted hyperthermia cancer therapy (86 citations). His contributions extend to droplet manipulation in three dimensions and the development of liquid-bodied antibiofilm robots with switchable viscoelastic responses for eradicating infections on complex surfaces. With over 300 total citations, Sun’s work is highly influential, offering transformative solutions for minimally invasive surgery, drug delivery, and biofilm eradication, establishing him as a leading innovator in soft robotics and biomedical engineering.
