About

Dr. Iwona Gajda is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of bioelectronics and robotics, whose work centers on harnessing microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to create self-sustaining biological systems. Her major contributions lie in developing MFC-based technologies that integrate energy generation, sensing, and actuation—key components for autonomous bio-robots. In her highly cited 2021 paper, “Microbial Fuel Cell Based Thermosensor for Robotic Applications,” Dr. Gajda demonstrated how MFCs can serve dual functions as both power sources and environmental sensors, a breakthrough that moves us closer to fully autonomous artificial bio-robots. This work, with 13 citations, showcases her ability to merge biological principles with robotic engineering, addressing the critical need for self-sustainability in the biological realm. Dr. Gajda’s research has significant implications for soft robotics, environmental monitoring, and medical devices, where traditional power sources fall short. Her innovative approach not only advances fundamental understanding of microbial electrochemistry but also paves the way for practical, eco-friendly robotic systems. For students and researchers, Dr. Gajda’s work exemplifies how interdisciplinary thinking can solve complex challenges in bio-inspired engineering.
