About
Amir Hamza is a rising researcher at the intersection of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), robotics, and surgical instrumentation. His work centers on high-precision sensing and reliability in autonomous and medical systems. Hamza’s most impactful contribution is a novel MEMS gyroscope design that leverages mode-localization in weakly coupled resonators to achieve high-resolution angular rate sensing—a paper that has garnered 19 citations and represents a significant step forward for inertial measurement in compact devices. He has also advanced the field of field robotics with the design of a throwable, impact-resistant unmanned ground vehicle capable of surviving a 7-meter fall, demonstrating practical innovation in rugged, portable platforms. More recently, Hamza has turned to time-dependent reliability analysis for robotic manipulator trajectories, using surrogate modeling and polynomial chaos expansion to quantify uncertainty in high-degree-of-freedom systems. His work extends into robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, where he has developed a sensorized laparoscopic grasper with an integrated capacitive force sensor. With publications spanning 2021 to 2025, Hamza is building a reputation for bridging theoretical modeling with real-world deployable hardware across defense, manufacturing, and medical robotics.
