About

Dr. Moumita Tewary is a researcher at the forefront of soft robotics and nonlinear structural dynamics, with a specialized focus on bio-inspired actuation and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation. Her major contributions center on the dynamic analysis of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) for soft fish robots, where she has pioneered mathematical frameworks to model the nonlinear, temperature-dependent behavior of anisotropic bimorph and convex tapered elastomer membranes. Her 2023 paper on nonlinear dynamic analysis of anisotropic bimorph DEAs has garnered 12 citations, while her 2022 work on dynamic analysis of DEA membranes for soft fish robots has received 9 citations, reflecting the growing interest in her rigorous formulations. Additionally, Dr. Tewary has contributed to the field of autonomous systems through a 2025 systematic review on path planning techniques for AUVs, highlighting her versatility. Her work bridges theoretical mechanics and practical soft robotics, offering critical insights for designing more efficient, resilient actuators and autonomous navigation strategies. Dr. Tewary’s research is essential reading for students and engineers exploring the intersection of smart materials, nonlinear dynamics, and bio-inspired robotics.
