About
A. Keller is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of sustainable materials, edible electronics, and soft robotics. Keller’s early work includes a foundational study on the thermal shrinkage of polyethylene along the chain direction (107 citations), demonstrating a lasting impact in polymer physics. Today, Keller is best known for advancing transient and edible robotics—creating biodegradable, digestible technologies that address the global e-waste crisis. Key contributions include the development of a sprayable, electrically conductive edible coating for piezoresistive strain sensing (27 citations), bioinspired multiscale adaptive suction cups that use regulated water secretion for enhanced adhesion on dry surfaces (20 citations), and edible shape-memory oleogel composites for sustainable soft robotics (14 citations). Keller also introduced GelBat, an edible gelatin-based battery (4 citations), and an edible pneumatic battery for sustained robot actuation (2 citations). With recent works on biodegradable humidity actuators and ingestible pH-sensitive actuators, Keller’s research is defining a new paradigm in environmentally friendly, transient robotic systems. Their work has rapidly gained attention, with multiple high-impact papers published in 2023–2025, positioning Keller as a leading voice in sustainable robotics and edible electronics.
