About
Samira Goli Pozveh is a rising researcher in the interdisciplinary field of bio-hybrid micro-robotics, with a focused expertise in harnessing biological motors for synthetic systems. Her most notable contribution is the pioneering design and characterization of bio-hybrid micro-swimmers propelled by isolated flagella from the green alga *Chlamydomonas reinhardtii*. In her key 2022 paper, which has garnered 11 citations, she demonstrates how the flagella’s beating properties—specifically the reduction in static curvature triggered by increased calcium concentration—can be exploited for controlled propulsion. This work bridges fundamental biophysics and applied engineering, offering a novel platform for fabricating bio-actuated medical micro-robots. By isolating and repurposing natural flagella, Pozveh’s research provides a scalable, biocompatible approach to micro-swimmer design, with profound implications for targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery. Her work stands out for its elegant integration of cellular mechanics with micro-robotic fabrication, positioning her as a key innovator in the next generation of bio-inspired actuators.
