I presented two invited talks at MARSS 2023 in Abu Dhabi: Ultrasound-responsive materials in microrobotics Acoustic actuation in microbubbles and hollow - solid microparticles: Exploring physical principles

Our paper “Piezo Capsule: Ultrasonic Way of Wireless Pressure Measurement” is published in Advanced Intellligent Systems. Here, we present the piezo capsule, a simple, cost-effective, and miniaturized passive ultrasound pressure sensing system.

I give an invited talk in the Micro/Nanorobots for Medicine workshop of Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics 2022 at Imperial College, London. The talk title is “Trends in medical microrobotics: future outlook and challenges”.

Our science advances paper is highlighted in ETH news: “New imaging method makes tiny robots visible in the body”.

Our paper “Real-time 3D optoacoustic tracking of cell-sized magnetic microrobots circulating in the mouse brain vasculature” is published in Science Advances. We demonstrated real-time 3D optoacoustic tracking of magnetic microrobots (5-20 $$\mu$$m diamater) in circulatory vasculture of mice.

Our paper “High shear rate propulsion of acoustic microrobots in complex biological fluids” is published in Science Advances. Here, we show how acoustically-powered microrobots can be efficiently propelled thorough complex viscoelastic fluids, such as blood and mucus, by the use of high shear rate fluidic flow near their body.

MPI-IS Grassroots 2021 Funding (8,300 €/Year) - Title: Talk & Talk project, a series of informal research talks and social hour at the MPI-IS Stuttgart for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.
