Gongxin Li

Gongxin Li is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Automation, Jiangnan University, affiliated with the Key Laboratory of Advanced Process Control for Light Industry of the Ministry of Education. His research focuses on developing biohybrid robotic systems and microscale technologies for medical diagnostics and interventions.

He received his B.Eng. degree from Shantou University in China and his Ph.D. from the Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017.

Dr. Li's research spans Biomedical Robotics, Microrobotics, and Optogenetics, with emphasis on earthworm-inspired soft robots for gastrointestinal procedures, dielectrophoresis-based cell manipulation, and biohybrid sensors for cancer diagnostics. His work integrates optical/magnetic control systems with microfluidics to address challenges in tumor grading, gut microbiota regulation, and infection detection.

Recent publications reveal a consistent focus on minimally invasive medical robotics, showing strong progression from fundamental micromanipulation techniques toward clinically applicable devices like colon-sampling soft robots and gut microbiota regulators. Key trends include biomimetic design, multi-modal control systems, and real-time diagnostic integration.
