Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Korea

Speech Title: Engineering Carbon Materials for High-Performance Electro-Ionic Artificial Muscles

 

Dr. Mahato is a full-time Research Associate Professor at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Korea, specializing in structural carbon materials for application in soft robotics and flexible energy devices. His research focuses on antagonistic nanoengineering for developing active materials, particularly metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent–organic frameworks (COFs) and creating mechanically flexible and robust membranes for substantial contribution in these fields. Mahato’s research on COFs and MOFs as active electro materials addresses and resolves the existing technological challenges of electrochemical soft robots, such as back relaxation, low mechanical force, and controllable mechanical bending at ultra-low power. He has pioneered the development of soft touch fingers for human-machine interaction and a fluidic switch for fluid flow control in confined channels. His aim to further explore MOFs and COFs for developing miniature smart microrobots, with a focus on active biomedical devices.
