Interests
Majid Taghavi joined QMUL in September 2024 as a senior lecturer. His goal is to pioneer the next generation of artificial muscles with extended functionalities, ultimately creating monolithic soft robots for health applications. His approach involves advancing the material, structure and functionality of soft actuators, incorporating features such as variable stiffness, graded stiffness, self-sensing, self-powered, adaptability and shape-shifting to establish novel core technologies for future wearable, implantable and surgical robotics.
