This specific PhD project will focus on design, synthesis, and multiscale characterization of materials for soft robotics applications and has application in all three endoscopic areas. The goal of the PhD is to computationally design using a simulation-guided approach and synthesize via light-based 3D-printing architecture (meta)materials for medical soft robotics applications. Furthermore, the morphology, microstructure, and mechanical behaviour of the metamaterials for soft robotics applications will be characterized as a function of environmental and boundary conditions in order to identify structure-property-function relationships.
