About

Zihao Su is a rising innovator at the intersection of bioinspired materials and micro-robotics, whose work is redefining signal transmission and precision control at the microscale. His research focuses on developing intelligent soft materials and micro/nanorobots that mimic biological systems for advanced applications in wearable electronics, soft robotics, and biomedical engineering. Su’s most cited work, "Neuron‐Inspired Sticky Artificial Spider Silk for Signal Transmission" (2023, 53 citations), introduces a groundbreaking artificial fiber that combines the mechanical robustness of spider silk with the signal transmission capacity of neurons, enabling robust, adhesive interfaces for wearable devices. In his highly regarded 2024 study, "Photonic nanojet-regulated soft microalga-robot with controllable deformation and navigation capability" (23 citations), Su pioneers a novel method using photonic nanojets to precisely control the shape and movement of soft micro-robots, overcoming a critical challenge in micro-robotics. By seamlessly integrating optical physics with bioinspired design, Su is charting a path toward more adaptive, responsive, and functional microsystems, establishing himself as a key voice in the next generation of smart materials and soft robotics.
