Biography

Dr Morteza Amjadi is a Senior lecturer (Associate Professor) of Biomedical Engineering in the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. He received his Dr Sc. in Mechanical Engineering jointly from Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and ETH Zurich in 2018. He obtained his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2014, and B.Sc. in Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 2012. Prior to joining the University of Glasgow in October 2022, he was an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, United Kingdom.

Dr Amjadi has published over 25 papers in high-impact journals & conferences including Advanced Materials, ACS Nano, Advanced Functional Materials, and Advanced Science. Some of his publications are among highly cited papers in the fields of flexible sensors, advanced materials, and nanocomposites (Google Scholar citations > 7k). In 2018, he has been nominated for the prestigious Otto Hahn Medal, awarded by the Max Planck Society to young scientists for their outstanding scientific achievements. He received the best presentation award in KMEMS2014 conference. Dr Amjadi serves as a peer reviewer for 40+ journals and conferences such as Science Advances, Advanced Materials, Nature Communications, Advanced Functional Materials, Soft Robotics, Materials Horizons, Nanoscale, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Carbon, Advanced Electronic Materials, Journal of Materials Chemistry A-C, Advanced Materials Technologies, Soft Mater, Materials & Design, Advanced Engineering Materials, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), and IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS).

Research interests

Dr Amjadi’s interdisciplinary research interests include wearable sensors, nanoscale materials, nanocomposites, bioinspired designs, soft robotics, and healthcare technologies. He leads the Biomedical Soft Robotics Group at the University of Glasgow where his team aims to design multifunctional soft machines utilising novel mechanical designs, advanced materials, bioinspired structures, and digital manufacturing processes. Such soft systems have many applications, ranging from wearable medical devices for healthcare monitoring to non-invasive surgical tools and soft robots for safe human-robot interaction. The main research themes of the Biomedical Soft Robotics Group are:

  • Wearable Sensors for Healthcare: The current trend in designing wearable and skin-mountable sensors is to combine functional nanomaterials as sensing elements with flexible polymers in the form of nanocomposites. Our group concentrates on nanocomposites-based flexible physical sensors for human motion detection, personalised healthcare, and soft robotics.
  • Bioinspired Structures: Nature provides plenty of inspiration for the development of smart materials. For instance, spiders can sense extremely small mechanical vibrations through their crack-shaped slit organs. Geckos adhere to complex surfaces with their adhesive pads consisting of dense arrays of fine hairs. Inspired by such biological systems, we seek to design high-performance wearable sensors, soft robots, and skin adhesives.
  • Soft Robotics: Soft robots offer safe interaction with the human body and soft biological materials. Flexible sensors and actuators are the key components of soft robots, enabling them to propel and sense the surrounding environment, respectively. Our group advances the design and fabrication of programmable soft actuators, together with their integration with flexible sensors towards multifunctional soft machines.
  • Digital Manufacturing of Soft Machines: Despite notable progress on the fabrication of individual soft sensors, actuators, energy storage, and electronic circuits, compact and reliable packaging of all these components remains challenging. We focus on digital manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and laser micromachining to facilitate the transfer of large-area computer-aided designs into low-cost and robust multifunctional soft systems.
