About

Muhammad Arsalan’s research bridges two critical frontiers: downhole energy harvesting for the oil and gas industry and advanced robotic prosthetics. His pioneering work on piezoelectric-based flow power harvesting addresses the urgent need for robust, self-powered downhole sensors and control systems—enabling wireless intelligent completions and downhole robotics without battery dependency. His 2015 foundational paper on this topic has garnered 21 citations, and his 2021 field-experience paper demonstrates real-world validation of this innovative technology. More recently, Arsalan has turned his expertise to biomedical robotics, designing shape-adaptive, multifunctional robotic grippers and a bionic leg with two-degree-of-freedom control. His 2023 gripper paper, which introduces a two-layered underactuated mechanism for versatile grasping, has already attracted 6 citations, while his bionic foot modeling work (2024) targets rehabilitation for stroke and spinal cord injury patients. By combining mechanical design, control systems, and energy autonomy, Arsalan’s work impacts both industrial automation and assistive technology—offering self-powered solutions for harsh environments and life-changing mobility aids for amputees.
