About
Jiyuan Tian is an innovative biomedical engineer whose research sits at the intersection of robotics, computational mechanics, and gastrointestinal medicine. His work focuses primarily on the design, modelling, and experimental validation of vibro-impact capsule robots for minimally invasive endoscopic diagnosis of the small intestine and colon. Tian's most significant contributions centre on advancing self-propelled capsule endoscopy — a transformative alternative to traditional colonoscopy. Through rigorous finite element analysis and multibody dynamics modelling, he has systematically characterised how capsule robots interact with intestinal folds and tissue structures, enabling optimised robot design and locomotion control. His development of elastomer-coated capsules and orientation-controllable robots demonstrates a commitment to both patient safety and diagnostic precision. Notably, his work on capsule-tumour contact modelling opens promising avenues for early bowel cancer detection using tissue stiffness as a biomarker. With over 149 cumulative citations across ten publications — several appearing in high-impact engineering and medical journals — Tian has established himself as a leading voice in capsule robotics. His 2021 finite element study (37 citations) and 2023 colonoscopy design paper (34 citations) are particularly influential. His broader educational contribution, "Fundamentals of Bowel Cancer for Biomedical Engineers," further reflects his dedication to bridging clinical knowledge and engineering innovation.
