About

Jeong Eun Park is a leading researcher in the field of magnetically actuated soft robotics, specializing in the contactless manipulation and collective control of miniaturized robotic systems. Her pioneering work focuses on developing magnetically responsive composites and structures that enable unprecedented maneuverability and coordination in soft robots. Park's most significant contributions include the demonstration of on-demand orbital maneuvers for multiple soft robots using hierarchical magnetomotility, a breakthrough that addresses the challenge of parallel control without interference. Her research has garnered substantial attention, with her top-cited paper on orbital maneuvering accumulating 81 citations, while her work on contactless manipulation and multimodal collective swimming of modular nanocomposite robots has each earned over 50 citations. Notably, Park has advanced the understanding of how helical geometry affects magnetic guiding, with applications in gastric cancer models, and has explored bio-inspired locomotion by reconfiguring microtopography to mimic *Caenorhabditis elegans* movement. Her recent investigations into high-amplitude magnetic oscillation of anisotropic micropillar arrays demonstrate her continued innovation in rapid, collective actuation. Through these achievements, Park has established herself as a key figure in the development of untethered, battery-free soft robotic systems with promising applications in biomedical engineering and micromanipulation.
