About
Moonkwang Jeong is a pioneering researcher in the field of medical microrobotics, whose work focuses on overcoming fundamental locomotion challenges in complex biological environments. His major contributions include the development of a helical microrobot with an optimized propeller shape for propulsion in viscoelastic biological media (35 citations), enabling unprecedented navigation through tissues like the vitreous humor. He has also engineered a magnetic millirobot capable of walking on slippery biological surfaces for targeted cargo delivery (10 citations), and demonstrated a convoy of millirobots transporting endoscopic instruments for minimally-invasive surgery (14 citations). Beyond locomotion, Jeong has advanced non-contact manipulation through acoustofluidic tweezers for 3D microparticle control (6 citations) and developed miniature magneto-oscillatory wireless sensors for magnetic field measurements (5 citations). His most recent work introduces a magnetically transformable twisting millirobot for cargo delivery at low Reynolds numbers. By systematically addressing the challenges of propulsion, surface locomotion, and sensing in biological media, Jeong’s research is paving the way for next-generation minimally invasive medical interventions.
