About Me

Amir Peikherfeh is a PhD candidate within the MI Lab at London South Bank University (LSBU), where he also earned his Master's in Mechanical Engineering. His current doctoral research delves into the realm of bio-inspired deployable structures.

At the heart of his work is a deep analytical exploration of the ingenious folding patterns found in insect wings. These natural wonders exemplify high efficiency in complex structural transformations, serving as a potent inspiration for his designs. Amir's ambition is to seamlessly translate these sophisticated biological principles into engineering solutions, primarily geared towards adaptive robotics.

To bring these innovations to life, Amir integrates his extensive capabilities across computational and physical domains. He uses parametric modeling to precisely capture and simulate intricate geometries. Furthermore, he utilizes rapid prototyping techniques for rigorous, iterative testing and validation of his structural concepts, culminating in the development of advanced control techniques to effectively actuate and motorize these novel deployable systems.
