"My research focuses on natural polymers, mainly cellulose, and their use in producing biocompatible, renewable liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs). LCEs are unique, responsive materials that reversibly change shape, colour, and adhesive or damping properties when triggered by heat, light, humidity, or strain. LCEs from natural polymers offer innovative, sustainable solutions for soft robotics, biomedical devices, and engineering applications."
Every year on February 11, the world comes together to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, recognising the vital role they play in shaping the scientific and technological landscape. Only ten years ago, this day was officially established by the United Nations in 2015, following efforts led by UNESCO and other organisations to promote gender equality in science. The goal is to ensure full and equal access to science for women and girls and to break down barriers that have historically limited their participation in STEM fields. As a leading alliance committed to fostering diversity and inclusion in academia and research, EUTOPIA proudly recognises the female professors and researchers within its network.
