Glisson (left) and Supervisor Prof. Arri Priimägi (right) SPM warmly congratulates Dr. Yasaman Nemati on successfully completing her PhD on 27 March 2026. In her dissertation, Towards Multi-Responsive and Autonomous Soft Actuators Based on Liquid Crystal Elastomers , she demonstrates how these materials achieve multi-responsive behavior, biomimetic movement, and self-sustained motion. Her research advances the develo
