Between 2014 and 2018, he conducted postdoctoral work at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, with Professor Bradley Nelson, an authority in micro-nano robots, as his collaborating supervisor. In June 2018, he returned to China and joined Southern University of Science and Technology. His research mainly focuses on micro-nano robotic technologies for single-cell analysis and tumor-targeted therapy (including micro-nano manipulation, microfluidic chips, and swimming micro-nano robots), as well as medical micro-robotic technologies aimed at diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal diseases.
Over the past five years, Hu Chengzhi has led 14 competitive research projects, including the Key Project of the National Key R&D Program “Diagnostic and Therapeutic Equipment and Biological Materials” (Youth Program), the National Natural Science Foundation (General Program), the Military Science and Technology Commission, the Shenzhen Basic Research Key Program, and other provincial and municipal-level projects. He has authored or co-authored 65 papers in leading international journals in the field such as Nature Communications, Advanced Science, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, and International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing. Additionally, he has filed more than 30 patents. He currently serves as the Director of the "SUSTech-Zifu Medical Joint Laboratory" (funded with 5 million RMB), is a council member of the Micro-Nano Robotics Branch of the Chinese Society of Micro-Nano Technology, a Senior Member of IEEE, a member of ASME, and a member of the Chinese Automatic Control Society. He is also an editorial board member of Cyborg and Bionic Systems and a young editorial board member of Microsystems & Nanoengineering. Hu Chengzhi has served as the General Chair of the IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA 2025), which was held in 2024 with approximately 500 participants. His awards include the 2024 MINE Young Scientist Award, the Nagoya University Academic Award, and four best paper awards at international conferences (IEEE MHS 2012, IEEE ICRA 2015, IEEE CBS 2023, IEEE ICMA 2024).
