About
M. Ranjbar is a leading researcher at the intersection of metamaterials, flexible electronics, and bioinspired flight. Their most influential work, "Fully-printed metamaterial-type flexible wings with controllable flight characteristics" (2021, 15 citations), pioneers a novel approach to flapping-wing micro air vehicles. By integrating metamaterial design principles with fully printed flexible structures, Ranjbar has demonstrated how to engineer wings that mimic the intricate interplay of rigid and flexible materials found in insect flight. This breakthrough allows for precise control over aerodynamic and acoustic properties—a critical step toward quieter, more agile drones. Beyond this flagship paper, Ranjbar’s research systematically explores how metamaterial architectures can tune stiffness, damping, and resonance in flexible wings, directly linking material design to flight performance. Their work bridges fundamental physics with practical fabrication, offering a scalable path to next-generation robotic insects. With growing recognition in the fields of smart materials and biomimetic robotics, Ranjbar’s contributions are shaping how we understand and replicate nature’s most efficient flyers.
