About

Mohammad Mohaghar’s research lies at the intersection of fluid dynamics, soft robotics, and bio-inspired propulsion, with a focus on how symmetry-breaking mechanisms govern motion in magnetic-responsive materials. His work explores how asymmetric shape changes and cycle periods in flexible appendages can mimic the efficient swimming strokes of aquatic organisms, offering insights into the design of untethered, magnetically actuated robots. In his most-cited study, Mohaghar demonstrated that an appendage combining an asymmetric joint with an asymmetric cycle period achieves markedly faster downward motion—a key finding for controlling directional locomotion in soft, stimuli-responsive systems. Though early in his career, his contributions are already shaping how researchers understand and harness material asymmetry for propulsion. With growing interest in soft robotics and biomedical devices, Mohaghar’s work holds promise for advancing minimally invasive tools and autonomous underwater vehicles. His ability to bridge fundamental physics with applied engineering marks him as a rising voice in the field, and his citation trajectory signals increasing recognition among peers.
