About

Semi Jeong is a pioneering researcher in the field of biomedical microrobotics, with a primary focus on electromagnetic actuation (EMA) systems for wireless medical interventions. His work centers on developing miniature, remotely controlled robots capable of navigating the complex environment of the human vascular system. Jeong’s most significant contribution is the demonstration of an intravascular therapeutic microrobot system that successfully penetrated an artificial arterial thromboembolism in a live animal model—a landmark study that has garnered 42 citations. This achievement showcases the potential of wireless robots to deliver targeted drug therapies directly to disease sites, offering a minimally invasive alternative for treating blood vessel diseases like thrombosis. Beyond this, Jeong has advanced biomimetic design principles, creating three-dimensional swimming mini-robots inspired by tadpoles and jellyfish, which utilize three-axis Helmholtz coils for precise electromagnetic control. His foundational work on EMA systems has been widely recognized, with his 2012 paper on the topic accumulating 16 citations. Through his innovative integration of electromagnetic actuation and bio-inspired locomotion, Semi Jeong is helping to shape the future of therapeutic microrobotics, bringing us closer to a new era of targeted, wireless medical treatments.
