About

M. Jamal Deen is a pioneering researcher whose work spans the transformative fields of healthcare robotics, silicon photonics, and bio-inspired soft robotics. A leading figure in Healthcare 4.0, Deen has been instrumental in defining the vision for next-generation homecare robotic systems (HRS), which leverage cyber-physical systems (CPS) to enable intelligent, autonomous care—a contribution that has garnered over 200 citations. His foundational work in silicon photonics, detailed in the highly cited book *Silicon Photonics: Fundamentals and Devices* (81 citations), has advanced the goal of affordable, high-speed optical communications using standard semiconductor manufacturing. More recently, Deen has pushed the boundaries of industrial CPS with research on region-based robotic grasping for reconfigurable robots (39 citations), and has ventured into bio-inspired design with a *Ocyropsis*-inspired fast-swimming transparent soft robot, published in *Advanced Functional Materials* (2025). This latter work, which combines electro-hydraulic actuation with natural propulsion mechanisms, demonstrates his commitment to solving real-world challenges in unstructured environments. With a career marked by high-impact, interdisciplinary contributions, Deen continues to shape the future of intelligent systems and robotics.
