About
Mahshid Hafezi is a rising researcher at the forefront of bio-inspired soft robotics and self-powered sensor systems. Her work focuses on developing flexible, biocompatible, and biodegradable actuators and pressure sensors that emulate human mechanoreceptors. Hafezi’s major contributions include enhancing ionic polymer–metal composite (IPMC) actuators with carboxylic multi-walled carbon nanotubes, achieving improved driving performance for bionic robots (15 citations). She also pioneered wireless, self-powered wearable pressure sensors based on chitosan, designed to mimic artificial mechanoreceptors for intelligent prosthetics and human-like robots (6 citations). Her bioprotein-based pressure sensor, inspired by the Pacinian corpuscle, addresses the critical need for low-cost, biodegradable, and self-powered electronics in soft robotics and implantable devices (4 citations). Additionally, Hafezi has explored tribological phase transformations in Nitinol for biomedical and actuating applications (4 citations). Her interdisciplinary approach—merging materials science, biomechanics, and nanotechnology—positions her as an innovator in sustainable, human-centric robotics.
