Research activity per year
Shuailong Zhang, currently a Professor and Ph.D. advisor at the School of Integrated Circuits and Electronics, Beijing Institute of Technology, specializes in research on bio-micro/nano operation systems, optoelectronic devices, and digital microfluidics. He obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Strathclyde, UK, in 2015, under the mentorship of Professor Martin Dawson, a renowned scholar in the field of optoelectronic devices (Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, IEEE Fellow). From 2015 to 2016, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Glasgow with Professor Jonathan Cooper (Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering) and Dr. Steven Neale. From 2017 to 2021, he continued his postdoctoral work at the University of Toronto under the guidance of Professor Aaron Wheeler (Canada's Chief Scientist, Editor-in-Chief of Lab on a Chip), collaborating closely with Professor Yu Sun from the University of Toronto (Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Engineering). In 2020, he was selected for the National Overseas High-Level Talent Program (16th batch, Youth Program).
Publications and Achievements
Professor Zhang has published 42 journal articles in the fields of micro/nano operations, optoelectronic devices, and microfluidics, including 20 as the first author or corresponding author. His works have appeared in prestigious international journals such as Nature Communications, PNAS, Science Advances, Chemical Society Reviews, ACS Nano, Small, and Lab on a Chip, with a total of 1,680 citations and an H-index of 20. Several of his papers have been featured on journal covers. He has also co-authored two academic books: Field-Driven Micro-Nano Robots and Untethered Small-Scale Robots for Biomedical Applications. He has presented 36 conference papers, including 8 keynote or invited lectures at major international conferences such as MicroTas and SPIE Photonics West.

Academic Positions and Editorial Roles
Professor Zhang serves as a Youth Corresponding Expert for Engineering (IF: 12.83), a Deputy Editor for Frontiers in Robotics and AI (IF: 4.33), a Guest Editor for Micromachines (IF: 3.53), and a Youth Editorial Board Member for Cyborg and Bionic Systems. He is also a council member of the Micro/Nano Devices and Systems Technology Division of the Chinese Instrument and Control Society, and a council member of the Micro/Nano Robotics Division of the Chinese Micro-Nano Technology Society.
Research Patents and Applications
Professor Zhang is the first inventor of a U.S. patent (granted) and five Chinese invention patents (currently under substantive examination). He co-founded Sci-Bots, a Canadian tech company, with Professor Aaron Wheeler from the University of Toronto. The company has sold over 60 units of the DropBot digital microfluidic drive system and over 2,000 associated digital microfluidic chips to research institutions worldwide for various biochemical experiments. After returning to China, he led the development of locally upgraded and iterated products through the Zhengzhou Intelligent Technology Research Institute of Beijing Institute of Technology. These products received high praise from Lou Yangsheng, Secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, and Chen Xiangping, Director of the Henan Provincial Department of Science and Technology.
