Profile
Dr. Andres Hunt is an Assistant Professor in the department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering, developing technologies to functionalize materials and systems.
Dr. Hunt received a MSc in Applied Physics, and a PhD in Computer and Systems Engineering. After PhD studies (2017) he joined the Delft University of Technology as a postdoctoral researcher in the Mechatronic System Design group, Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering. Since 2020, he continued as an Assistant Professor in the Micro and Nano Engineering group of the same department.
His research investigates embedding actuation, sensing and smart functionalities into the otherwise passive materials, structures, mechanisms and devices. It entails developing: (1) technologies to create high-performance and versatile actuators; (2) multi-material additive manufacturing methods to realize embedded functionalities; (3) materials that funciton as mechatronic systems or sub-systems; and (4) their utilization.
