About
Susmita Naskar is an emerging researcher at the cutting edge of metamaterials science, soft robotics, and smart structural systems. Her work focuses on the design and mechanics of stimuli-responsive metamaterials, origami-inspired structures, and active elastomeric systems — fields that sit at the intersection of structural engineering, materials science, and applied physics. Naskar's most influential contribution explores tubular origami metamaterials, demonstrating how the interplay of geometry, folding mechanics, and multi-physical stimuli can unlock extraordinary mechanical programmability and deployability — a paper that has already garnered 30 citations since 2025. Her research on electro-magneto-viscoelastomer minimum energy structures (24 citations) has advanced understanding of nonlinear dynamic behavior in soft transduction technologies, directly informing next-generation soft actuator design. More recently, she has pioneered bi-level architected metamaterials capable of heterogeneous mode coupling and on-demand tunable mechanics — achievements that challenge conventional assumptions about symmetric lattice behavior. Across her portfolio, Naskar consistently bridges theoretical mechanics with functional device applications, offering tools for programmable, adaptive structures relevant to aerospace, biomedical engineering, and soft robotics. Her rapidly growing citation record signals a researcher whose influence in multifunctional metamaterials is only beginning to take shape.
