About

Jordi Sort is a leading figure in the development of micro- and nanorobotics for biomedical applications, with a particular focus on magnetic actuation and smart materials. His research integrates materials science, electrochemistry, and robotics to create tiny, controllable devices for targeted drug delivery and fluidic manipulation. Among his most impactful contributions is the creation of hybrid helical magnetic microrobots (2013, 164 citations), which combine a CoNi alloy with polypyrrole via 3D template-assisted electrodeposition, enabling precise propulsion in fluid environments. He also pioneered biodegradable metal-organic framework-based microrobots, or MOFBOTs (2020, 129 citations), which address critical limitations in drug delivery by offering high drug loading and degradability. His work on imaging technologies for micro- and nanoswimmers (2018, 116 citations) has advanced the real-time tracking and control of these devices. More recently, Sort has tackled the challenge of unpredictable motion in catalytic Janus micromotors, developing methods for real-time trajectory prediction (2022). His achievements have positioned him as a key innovator in the field, with his research cited over 400 times and recognized for its potential to transform nanomedicine.
