About

Neeraj Dwivedi is a leading researcher in the field of stimuli-responsive materials and soft robotics, with a particular focus on shape-memory polymers (SMPs) and advanced nanocomposites. His work explores how integrating 1D, 2D, and 3D sp²-carbon allotropes—such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and MAX/MXene phases—can control shape switching, contact sliding, and functional properties in polymer systems. Dwivedi’s major contributions include demonstrating how layered titanium carbide (MXene) enables fast shape recovery and superior thermal and electrical transport in SMP composites, paving the way for smart technologies in robotics, aerospace, and biomedical devices. His highly cited papers, including “Competing and decisive roles of 1D/2D/3D sp2-carbons” (20 citations) and “Layered Titanium Carbide‐Mediated Fast Shape Switching” (18 citations), underscore the impact of his work on the design of shape-morphable soft machines. More recently, his 2025 paper on “Shape Morphable Soft Machines and Systems” highlights the potential of responsive materials for next-generation biomedical and AI-driven robotic systems. Dwivedi’s research is instrumental in advancing the field of soft robotics, offering new pathways for adaptive, bio-inspired technologies.
