About

Shuhan Zhong is pioneering the frontier of bio-inspired micro/nanorobotics, with a focus on designing intelligent, light-powered microrobots for biomedical applications. Their key research areas include soft microalga-robots, photonic nanojet manipulation, and immune cell-based microrobots. Zhong’s major contribution is the development of a photonic nanojet-regulated soft microalga-robot that achieves controllable deformation and navigation—a breakthrough for precise operations in complex microenvironments. This work, published in 2024, has already garnered 23 citations, highlighting its immediate impact. Additionally, Zhong introduced the "phagobot," a light-powered phagocytic macrophage microrobot that harnesses innate immune functions for both in vitro and in vivo applications. This 2025 paper, with 9 citations, demonstrates the potential to leverage phagocytosis—a notoriously challenging immune capability—in robotic systems. Together, these innovations position Zhong at the forefront of merging optics, robotics, and cell biology, offering transformative tools for targeted drug delivery and cellular-level interventions. Their work is a must-read for researchers interested in the next generation of soft, controllable microrobots.
