About
Xing Ma is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of micro/nanorobotics, soft robotics, and functional materials, with particular expertise in magnetic actuation, liquid metal systems, and biomedical micro/nanomotors. His most celebrated contribution — a photoacoustic imaging-trackable magnetic microswimmer for treating bacterial infections (2020, 255 citations) — exemplifies his ability to bridge cutting-edge materials science with clinically relevant biomedical challenges, enabling minimally invasive interventions in previously inaccessible biological environments. Ma has been instrumental in unlocking the potential of gallium-based liquid metals, developing novel phoretic micro/nanomotors for targeted microwelding and advancing stretchable, sintering-free liquid metal conductors with broad applications in soft electronics and wearables. His work on ferromagnetic soft materials, including inverse programming methods for complex 3D surface geometries, has meaningfully advanced the design and fabrication of miniature soft robots. With contributions spanning hydrogel microrobots, self-propelled droplet systems, and intelligent path planning algorithms, Ma's research portfolio reflects both impressive breadth and depth. Collectively accumulating over 570 citations, his work continues to shape the rapidly evolving landscape of intelligent micro-scale robotics and next-generation biomedical devices.
