About

Soha Hisham is a researcher in assistive robotics and soft actuation, with a focus on developing wearable technologies for rehabilitation and human augmentation. Her most-cited work, the "Assistive Exoskeleton Hand Glove" (2020, 4 citations), introduces a novel soft-robotic glove featuring segmented actuators designed to enhance finger compliance and user comfort. Through finite element modeling and experimental validation, Hisham demonstrated that the segmented design improves actuator flexibility and adaptability, making the glove suitable for assisting individuals with hand impairments. This contribution addresses key challenges in exoskeleton design—balancing mechanical support with natural movement—and has implications for both clinical rehabilitation and daily assistive use. While her citation count reflects an emerging career, Hisham’s work is notable for its integration of simulation-driven design with practical fabrication, offering a scalable approach to soft robotics. Her research bridges engineering and healthcare, aiming to create affordable, effective assistive devices. As she continues to publish, Hisham’s focus on user-centered design and biomechanical compatibility positions her as a promising voice in the field of wearable robotics.
