About

Armin Mirabolghasemi is a rising leader in the field of mechanical metamaterials and soft robotics, whose work is redefining how structures can store energy, change shape, and preserve their form. His research centers on the design of multistable and programmable structures, with a particular focus on "shellular" metamaterials—a novel class of 3D architected materials that combine shell-like geometry with cellular architecture. In his most cited work, "Programmable Multistable Perforated Shellular" (2021, 147 citations), Mirabolghasemi introduced a groundbreaking approach by using delicate perforations to create a 3D multistable metamaterial, enabling deployable structures and reusable energy dampers with unprecedented programmability. This work has become a foundational reference in the field. More recently, his 2024 paper on "Programmable Shape‐Preserving Soft Robotics Arm via Multimodal Multistability" (13 citations) demonstrates a practical leap forward, developing inflatable, energy-efficient robotic arms that maintain their shape even after power loss—a critical advancement for safe, reliable soft robotics. By merging theoretical design with functional application, Mirabolghasemi is paving the way for next-generation adaptive structures and soft robotic systems.
