About

Babak Eslami is a leading researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing, smart materials, and micro-robotics. His work primarily focuses on advancing 3D and 4D printing technologies, with a particular emphasis on understanding how environmental factors influence the performance and functionality of printed polymers. Eslami’s major contributions include pioneering experimental investigations into the effects of temperature and humidity on shape memory polymers (SMPs) used in 3D printing, which are critical for applications in soft robotics and medical devices. His 2023 study on FDM printing with ABS, PETG, and PLA has already garnered 21 citations, highlighting its impact on the field. Beyond macro-scale printing, Eslami has also made notable strides in micro-robotics, designing a vision-based force sensor for milligram-scale legged robots—a breakthrough for precise locomotion control. His work on quality control in additive manufacturing further underscores his commitment to reliability and scalability. With a growing citation record and research spanning from material science to microrobot sensing, Eslami is shaping the future of adaptive, intelligent manufacturing.
