About
Aaron D. Franklin is a leading figure in the field of additive manufacturing and nanomaterials, with a particular focus on aerosol jet printing for next-generation flexible and soft robotics. His work bridges the gap between advanced materials and scalable fabrication, most notably through the development of MXene-cellulose composites for multi-stimulus soft actuators. Franklin’s research on surface termination engineering of 2D titanium carbides has opened new pathways for light-activated soft robotics, demonstrating how material chemistry can be harnessed to create responsive, conformal devices. With his most-cited papers already accumulating early attention—including a 2025 study on MXene-based actuators that has garnered 3 citations—his contributions are rapidly shaping the field of microrobotics. Franklin’s work is distinguished by its emphasis on design versatility and scalability, addressing critical challenges in the evolution of flexible, stretchable, and conformal microsystems. His achievements highlight a commitment to translating fundamental materials science into practical, high-impact technologies, making him a key innovator in the intersection of 2D materials and advanced manufacturing.
