About
Joanes Berasategi is a researcher specializing in magneto-active materials and their biomedical applications, with a particular focus on smart composites for assistive technologies. His work bridges materials science and rehabilitation engineering, exploring how magnetic fields can be harnessed to create responsive, adaptive systems. In his 2017 study on magnetorheological fluids for lower-limb prostheses with active damping, Berasategi investigated how these smart fluids could improve prosthetic performance by enabling real-time, controllable resistance—a contribution that has informed the development of more responsive artificial limbs. More recently, his 2025 work on polyurethane foams embedded with oriented FeCo microparticles examines the magneto-mechanical behavior of soft composites, revealing a competition between bending and stretching effects in their magnetostrictive response. This research is particularly relevant for emerging applications in wearable sensors, soft robotics, and biomedical devices. With growing citation impact, Berasategi’s work is helping to advance the design of lightweight, magnetically tunable materials that can sense and respond to their environment—paving the way for next-generation adaptive technologies in healthcare and beyond.
