About

Lorenzo Pirrami is an innovative researcher at the intersection of bioengineering, soft robotics, and bioelectronics, whose work has significantly advanced the field of biohybrid robotic systems. His research focuses on designing life-like soft robots powered by living muscle actuators, flexible bioelectronics, and wireless power systems, drawing inspiration from biological organisms to engineer functional, responsive machines. Pirrami's most influential contribution, "Electrically Driven Microengineered Bioinspired Soft Robots" (2018, 192 citations), demonstrated the feasibility of integrating self-actuating cardiac muscles onto hierarchically structured scaffolds modeled after batoid fish, establishing a landmark framework for biomimetic locomotion. Building on this foundation, his subsequent work explored wirelessly powered 3D-printed biohybrid robots with multiscale mechanical properties (47 citations) and pioneered neuromuscular biohybrid systems featuring neurocardiac junctions capable of steerable, neurally mediated movement (32 citations). Most recently, he has extended these principles toward personalized medicine, developing autonomous robot-arm-printed bioelectronic wound patches guided by computer vision for accelerated tissue regeneration. Across his career, Pirrami has consistently bridged fundamental biology with cutting-edge fabrication technologies, positioning himself as a compelling voice in the future of intelligent biomedical robotics and wearable therapeutic devices.
