Islam S. M. Khalil received his master's and doctoral degrees in Mechatronics Engineering. He is currently an Associate Professor in the RAM—Robotics and Mechatronics research group at the University of Twente. For two years, he was a post-doctoral fellow in the Robotics and Mechatronics research group and MIRA–Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine, University of Twente. After serving as the Director of the Medical Micro and Nanorobotics Laboratory at the German University in Cairo, Egypt, he held a position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomechanical Engineering. His research interests include the modeling and design of motion control systems for soft microrobots, biologically-inspired microrobots, mechatronic system design, and untethered magnetic micro/nanorobotics with applications in micro/nanomanipulation, microassembly, and targeted drug delivery.
