Multi Stimuli-Responsive Conjugated Polymers for Soft Actuators

Research interests lie at the interface of polymer chemistry, organic electronics, and molecular photoswitches. The work focuses on the development of stimuli-responsive materials based on functional conjugated polymers for applications in soft actuators and organic electronic devices. Through molecular design and post-polymerization functionalization, current limitations in efficiency, durability, and precise control are addressed to enable the next generation of adaptive materials.
