Kickstarter to a great event by Samuel Sánchez very excited to be here in Barcelona

Feeling great catching up with Metin Sitti after a while, with Amirreza Aghakhani and @abdon_pf in Barcelona, Nonomotors International Conference

#IBECNanomotors turn out to be a blast! Thanks Samuel Sánchez for such a great event Amirreza Aghakhani Joe Wang @abdon_pf

Very proud of my student, Cole Fredericks, for winning the 2nd best poster award from Nature journals at the Nonomotors International Conference #IBECNanomotors University of Waterloo Chemical Engineering University of Waterloo

Congratulations to all Poster Prize #IBECnanomotors awardees from the editors of Nature Nanotechnology @naturenano Nature Portfolio for their outstanding contributions at the Nanomotors International Conference: 20th Anniversary, June 2-5, 2024, in Barcelona.

I had an amazing time in Zaragoza with Carlos and his great team in INMA. Thanks so much for having me!

Our zwitterionic programmable hydrogels for small-scale robotics came out in Small Methods!

Looking forward to having Prof. Qasaimeh on campus for a visit and seminar.

Our perspective on the potential of #liquidcrystals in #microrobotics can be found through a short story and snippet told by great researchers of my team Negar, Matthew, Cole, Ramon, and Azin University of Waterloo Chemical Engineering Waterloo Engineering published at Accounts of Mater. Res. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

To develop soft materials that emulate behaviors of living organisms, we designed hydrogels that swim autonomously toward a light source. This intelligent phototactic behavior is controlled by supramolecular nanofibers linked to photoresponsive networks. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
