About
Elaheh Sedghamiz is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of polymer chemistry and advanced manufacturing, whose work is reshaping the design of smart, adaptive materials. Her primary research areas include self-healing hydrogels, 3D-printable polymers, and dynamic covalent chemistries—particularly alkoxyamine-based systems. Sedghamiz’s major contributions are twofold. First, she co-developed “PEGgel,” a tough, transparent, and 3D-printable poly(ethylene glycol) gel that exhibits remarkable self-healing properties, a breakthrough with broad implications for soft robotics and biomedical devices (144 citations). Second, she pioneered the integration of living alkoxyamine bonds into two-photon laser printing, creating “covalent adaptable microstructures” that allow for on-demand mechanical tuning at the microscale (47 citations). This work enables truly living 3D microstructures whose properties can be adapted post-fabrication—a paradigm shift for microfluidics and programmable materials. Her achievements demonstrate a rare ability to bridge fundamental polymer network design with cutting-edge fabrication techniques, positioning her as a rising leader in the field of responsive and reconfigurable soft matter.
