The schematic used to demonstrate a roadmap of our research works
Overview
Dr. Xiaohui Yan now is an Associate Professor of Center for Molecular Imaging and Translational at School of Public Health, Xiamen University (Xiamen). Before joining Xiamen University, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow of Department of Physics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong SAR). He received the Ph.D. degree from the same University in Aug. 2016, majoring in Mechanical and Automation Engineering. He received the M. Eng. degree from Zhejiang University (Hangzhou) in 2012 and the B. Eng. degree from Fuzhou University (Fuzhou) in 2009, both majoring in Materials Science and Engineering. During the Ph.D. studies, he went to Laboratoire PRISME-INSA Centre Val de Loire (France) as a visiting scholar. In the past few years, his research has been focused on the development and clinical translation of medical micro-/nanorobots, including bioinspired design theory, materials development, system construction, swarm control, real-time in vivo tracking, diagnostics-therapy integration, and post-injection recovery. The ultimate objective of these works is to develop novel micro-/nanorobotic technology and tools to achieve intelligent theranostic applications in minimally-invasive or non-invasive manner. Some outcomes have been published on international journals including Science Robotics, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, Nano Letters.
