About
Dr. Matthew P. Shuttleworth is a leading innovator at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and functional materials, with a primary focus on digital fabrication for electronics and soft robotics. His work addresses the critical challenge of translating lab-based prototypes into robust, industrial-scale production processes. Dr. Shuttleworth’s major contributions include pioneering a novel light-based synthesis method for creating metallic nanoparticles directly on surface-modified 3D-printed substrates, a breakthrough that enables high-performance electronic systems with the design freedom of additive manufacturing. This work, his most cited (14 citations), offers a digital pathway to miniaturized, reliable electronics. In parallel, he has advanced the manufacturing science of soft robotics, demonstrating how Aerosol Jet Printing can be used to fabricate complex, flexible actuators and sensors (12 citations), moving the field beyond bespoke fabrication toward repeatable, industrial viability. His research is characterized by a unique ability to merge materials chemistry with process engineering, creating new digital workflows for next-generation devices.
