About
Mehran Moazen is a rising leader in soft robotics and biomechanics, whose work bridges assistive technology and surgical precision. His primary research focuses on developing textile-based and soft-robotic hand exoskeletons for rehabilitation and daily living assistance, as exemplified by the ExHand Exoskeleton (23 citations) and his comparative assessment of pleated textile versus silicone actuators (20 citations). Moazen has also made significant contributions to spinal surgery safety through patient-specific 3D-printed surgical guides for pedicle screw insertion in deformities like scoliosis, with two key papers (15 and 10 citations) critically analyzing design approaches and accuracy. His innovative prosthetic hand designs—the PrHand series and underactuated compliant mechanisms—demonstrate a commitment to affordable, functional solutions for developing countries, with multiple papers (9, 5, and 2 citations) showcasing mechanical and functional evaluations. Notably, Moazen’s work extends to comparative biomechanics, including a unique study on emu hindlimb kinematics during sit-to-stand transitions (4 citations), revealing insights into limb design constraints. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio that marries soft robotics, 3D printing, and clinical application, Moazen is shaping the future of human-centered robotic assistance and surgical innovation.
