Chemical Engineering Professor Hamed Shahsavan’s micro-medical robotics research
This video shows Professor Hamed Shahsavan’s research into developing smart polymers for applications in biomedical robotics.
Shahsavan’s research group utilizes shape change to produce movement in the micro-robots. They transduce different types of energy from light, temperature, or electromagnetic fields to induce mechanical work.
The micro-medical robots can be used for biopsies, cell transport and drug delivery. He also discusses the critical role of graduate students in research labs.
