Miriam Filippi

Dr. Miriam Filippi is a Lecturer at ETH Zurich's Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering, where she leads research in soft robotics and bio-hybrid systems. Her work centers on integrating biological principles into engineering platforms, particularly through the development of engineered muscle tissues for bio-actuation in robotics and medical applications.

Her research interests span:

• Bio-hybrid actuator design using skeletal muscle tissues
• Perfusion strategies for scalable tissue constructs
• Neuromuscular interface development
• Autonomous control systems for bio-robotics
• Sustainable biofabrication methods

Recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on advanced bioprinting techniques, bioelectronic interfaces, and computational approaches to tissue engineering. Her work consistently bridges fundamental biological principles with robotic applications.

Dr. Filippi coordinates several interdisciplinary projects including 'Biofabrication of Neuromuscular Tissue Models' and 'Sensorized Bio-actuators for Autonomous Bio-robotics', collaborating with institutions across Europe.

She manages the Soft Robotics Laboratory's biosafety protocols and sustainability initiatives while advising on the integration of functional materials with cellular hydrogels.
