Multiscale Biofabrication Towards System ‘Engineering’ Biology
Presenter: Prof. Olli Ikkala
Professor of Bioengineering, Aalto University (Finland)
Prof. Olli Ikkala is a distinguished researcher at the Department of Applied Physics, Aalto University in the Helsinki metropolitan area. Originally trained in quantum physics, he spent a decade in industry working on supramolecular self-assemblies of electrically conducting polymers, tailoring them for real-world applications. His current research focuses on bioinspiration—using nature as a guide to create novel static and dynamic properties in soft matter. His work spans hierarchical self-assemblies, nacre-mimetic materials, functional nanocelluloses, and stimulus-responsive soft systems that mimic behavioral learning like Pavlovian conditioning, habituation, and sensitization.
Electronic skin and the future of wearable technology
I’m not sure what qualifies as fundamental research—I’m feeling a bit confused. So I’m looking at how Zhenan Bao described her lab’s research in this podcast:
Material research for wearable and implantable devices_Stanford University'
Tonight, I had the pleasure of virtually attending a seminar hosted by Stanford University. The first presentation immediately resonated with my own research interests in sensor design and fabrication.

Today, I attended an inspiring online workshop hosted in Sweden, focused on “Functional Additive Manufacturing in 2D & 3D: Novel Inks and LASER-Based Patterning Technologies.” I really appreciate this kind of remote event — it saves both time and money! 😅
