About

Bumjin Jang is a leading researcher in the field of small-scale robotics, with a focus on designing and fabricating micro- and nanorobots for biomedical applications. His work centers on developing innovative propulsion and control mechanisms, particularly through the use of magnetic fields and soft smart materials. Jang’s major contributions include the creation of motile piezoelectric nanoeels for targeted drug delivery, a breakthrough that integrates soft components for more sophisticated locomotion. He has also pioneered the 3D fabrication of fully iron magnetic microrobots, achieving high biocompatibility and magnetic responsiveness essential for clinical translation. His highly cited paper on small-scale machines driven by external power sources (264 citations) provides a comprehensive overview of the field’s potential in minimally invasive surgery and targeted therapy. Additionally, Jang has advanced the understanding of motion control in chemically driven micromotors, developing real-time trajectory prediction methods to overcome unpredictable Brownian motion. With multiple papers garnering over 100 citations each, Jang’s work is shaping the future of micro- and nanorobotics, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in precision medicine and environmental remediation.
