Dr Morteza Amjadi is an assistant professor in the Institute of Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering (IMPEE) at Heriot-Watt University, UK. 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 Automotive Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 2012. Prior to joining Heriot-Watt in May 2019, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Physical Intelligence Department at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems.
Dr Amjadi has published over a dozen papers in high-impact journals 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. 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. Additionally, he serves as a peer reviewer for over 25 journals and conferences such as Advanced Functional Materials, Soft Robotics, Materials Horizons, Nanoscale, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Carbon, Advanced Electronic Materials, Journal of Materials Chemistry B and 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).
Dr Amjadi leads the Integrated Soft Machines Lab (ISML) where he aims to design multifunctional soft machines utilizing 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 ISML are:
