About

Lucrezia Lorenzon is an emerging researcher at the forefront of soft robotics and biomedical engineering, with a particular focus on wearable devices, implantable systems, and artificial organ development. Her work addresses one of medicine's most pressing challenges: creating robotic and assistive devices whose mechanical properties closely mimic biological tissues, bridging the gap between engineering and the human body. Lorenzon's most influential contributions include comprehensive reviews on soft robotics in medical applications (51 citations) and biomedical simulators and implantable devices (21 citations), which have rapidly become key references in the field. Her technical innovations extend to variable stiffness actuators, self-sensing pneumatic artificial muscles, and novel soft robotic cardiac devices — including a total artificial hybrid heart and a soft robotic cardiac wall — demonstrating a clear trajectory toward transformative cardiovascular solutions. With over 130 cumulative citations in just a few years, her research impact is remarkable for its recency and breadth. Lorenzon's pioneering work on soft robotic artificial heart ventricles is particularly noteworthy, proposing biomimetic pumping strategies that could reshape the future of end-stage heart failure treatment. Her scholarship positions her as a compelling voice in the next generation of medical robotics innovation.
