About
William Collins is a rising leader in the emerging field of soft robotics and advanced functional materials, with a focused expertise in 2D transition metal carbides (MXenes) and additive manufacturing. His research centers on engineering surface terminations and developing multi-stimulus responsive soft actuators, aiming to solve critical scalability and design challenges in next-generation flexible and conformal microrobotics. Collins’s pioneering work on “Surface termination engineering of 2D titanium carbides for light-activated soft robotics applications” (2025, 3 citations) has already garnered early attention for its novel approach to tailoring material properties. He further advanced the field with “Multi-Stimulus Soft Actuators from Aerosol Jet Printed MXene-Cellulose Composite” (2025, 1 citation), a study that directly addresses the pressing need for scalable fabrication methods and increased design versatility in microrobotics. By integrating aerosol jet printing with MXene-cellulose composites, Collins is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in creating stretchable, conformal devices. His work represents a significant step toward practical, high-performance soft robots that can respond to multiple environmental stimuli.
