À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ

Hamed Shahsavan is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. He obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering - Nanotechnology from University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ in 2017. Before joining University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ at 2020, he was an NSERC postdoctoral fellow at Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems. During his PhD studies, he was a visiting scholar in the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute at Kent State University, Ohio, USA. During his post-doctoal fellowship, he was a visiting scientist in the Smart Photonic Materials (SPM) research group at the University of Tampere in Finland. Hamed's current research interests revolve around the development of a variety of soft, stimuli-responsive, and programmable materials. In addition, he is interested in emerging fabrication strategies for the manufacturing of small-scale mobile robots and devices, such as direct laser writing, and micro-scale 4D printing.
