Ahmad Mujtaba Jebran

Ahmad Mujtaba Jebran is a graduate student in mechanical engineering working at the intersection of soft materials, device physics, and biomedical applications. His research focuses on designing stretchable organic semiconductors for next-generation conformable chips and bioelectronic devices. By introducing microscale geometric patterning into polymer films, he aims to simultaneously enhance mechanical compliance and electrochemical performance—key challenges in wearable and implantable electronics. As a MathWorks Fellow, Mujtaba will expand his computational design framework to automate geometry optimization using AI-driven modeling. He utilizes MATLAB’s Partial Differential Equation Toolbox to simulate stress, strain, and deformation across microstructured polymer geometries under biologically relevant loading conditions. His parameterized design pipeline enables rapid generation, evaluation, and refinement of microarchitectures, with results informing both fabrication and experimental validation. Beyond simulation, he also develops custom MATLAB tools for real-time data acquisition and visualization during mechanical and electrical testing. Mujtaba’s work could reshape how we design bioelectronic interfaces, bringing more robust, conformable, and responsive medical devices closer to clinical reality.
