Kaushik Jayaram

Dr. Kaushik Jayaram is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at Imperial London, where he leads the Insect Inspired Intelligence Lab. His work focuses on uncovering fundamental principles of biological robustness and translating them into deployable robotic technologies. His long-term vision is to establish insect-scale autonomous systems as a new paradigm for resilient, energy-efficient robotics with applications in infrastructure, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and disaster response. Dr. Jayaram leads an interdisciplinary team spanning biomechanics, robotics, materials science, and embedded systems, and is committed to training researchers who operate across traditional disciplinary boundaries. His work has been widely featured in major media outlets and public science platforms, reflecting its broad societal relevance. He received his PhD in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley, and completed postdoctoral training at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. Prior to joining Imperial, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder with affiliations across engineering, robotics, and biomedical institutes. He is particularly known for advancing an integration-first approach to physical intelligence, embedding sensing, actuation, and control directly into materials and morphology. His research has resulted in over 40 peer-reviewed publications (including Science Robotics, PNAS, NPJ Robotics, etc.), multiple patents, and international recognition through invited and plenary talks. He has secured competitive funding from national and international agencies (including NSF CAREER) and industry partners to develop next-generation miniature robotic systems.
