About
Kosar Mozaffari is a rising leader in the mechanics of soft active materials, with a focus on flexoelectricity, electroactive polymers, and liquid crystal elastomers. Her work bridges fundamental physics and applied engineering, particularly in the context of soft robotics, energy harvesting, and biomedical devices. In her highly cited 2021 paper (70 citations), she uncovered the molecular mechanisms behind giant flexoelectricity in soft elastomers, demonstrating how large deformations can generate significant electric fields—a breakthrough for designing self-sensing actuators and flexible electronics. More recently, in 2024, she developed a static and dynamic theory for photo-flexoelectric liquid crystal elastomers, pioneering a framework that couples light, deformation, and electricity. This work opens new pathways for remotely controlled, light-responsive soft robots and adaptive structures. Mozaffari’s contributions are notable for their theoretical depth and practical relevance, earning her recognition as a key voice in next-generation smart materials. Her research continues to inspire innovations in multifunctional, stimuli-responsive systems that could transform wearable tech and autonomous soft machines.
