Monsur Islam is a scientist at the Institute of Microstructure Technology at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. He earned his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Clemson University, SC, USA, in 2018. His Ph.D. research focused on the microfabrication of carbon materials for healthcare diagnostics and advanced manufacturing of cellular lightweight carbonaceous materials. He pioneered an origami-inspired process to fabricate 3D complex lightweight carbonaceous materials, for which he was granted a US patent. His current research interests include micro/nanomanufacturing of carbon materials, particularly 3D and 4D architected carbon, for biomedical applications, which include tissue engineering scaffolds, flexible electrodes for bio-electronics and biosensors, and microelectrodes for point-of-care diagnosis. He is developing a research curriculum on engineered living materials to achieve self-sustaining, responsive, and smart materials.
