Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Gracias is a leading international scientist and engineer and has made significant contributions to the design, fabrication and characterization of smart materials and miniature devices. He has pioneered the use of chemical and biochemical principles in the development of systems that self-assemble, sense and autonomously actuate based on environmental and physiological cues and self-fold in complex geometries. In Germany Professor Gracias will focus on developing smart shape change and miniaturized robots of relevance to medicine.
