About
D. Decanini is a pioneering researcher in the field of microrobotics, with a primary focus on the design, control, and navigation of helical microswimmers for biomedical applications. Their work has been instrumental in advancing the manipulation of mobile microrobots within microfluidic environments, a critical step toward targeted drug delivery, microassembly, and biopsy. Decanini’s most-cited paper (77 citations) introduces an on-chip multimodal swimmer capable of 3D navigation, while their subsequent research (21 citations) demonstrates how the rotation of helical microrobots simplifies three-dimensional control inside microchannels by leveraging wall-induced forces. They have also contributed to force sensing within microfluidic chips (15 citations) and developed multi-flagella helical swimmers for multiscale cargo transport and reversible targeted binding (10 citations). Notably, Decanini’s work on wireless obstacle detection using helical nanoswimmers and 3D micro fractal pipettes for capillary-based liquid handling highlights their commitment to real-time sensing and miniaturized liquid handling. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 130, Decanini’s research continues to shape the future of microrobotic navigation and control in confined, wet environments.
