About

Claas Willem Visser is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, soft matter physics, and microfluidics. He is best known for his groundbreaking work in multimaterial 3D printing, particularly the development of voxelated soft matter—a technique that enables the rapid, high-resolution fabrication of complex, multi-material structures with programmable properties. His landmark 2019 paper on this topic has garnered over 1,000 citations, underscoring its transformative impact on additive manufacturing. Visser’s contributions extend to understanding droplet dynamics, fluid instabilities, and the rheology of complex fluids, which have informed innovations in bioprinting, soft robotics, and functional materials. His research has been recognized with prestigious awards, including a Veni grant from the Dutch Research Council, and his work frequently appears in top-tier journals such as *Nature* and *Science Advances*. By bridging fundamental fluid mechanics with scalable fabrication technologies, Visser continues to shape the future of programmable matter, offering new tools for engineers and scientists to design materials with unprecedented control over architecture and function.
