Swapnil Moon

Swapnil Moon is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). He holds a Ph.D. (2014), M.S. (2009), and B.S. (2005) in Mechanical Engineering from NJIT and Nagpur University, respectively. His research focuses on advanced materials science, particularly in the mechanical behavior and constitutive modeling of shape memory polymers, viscoelasticity, and thermal activation mechanisms.

Education Background:

• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, NJIT (2014)
• M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, NJIT (2009)
• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Nagpur University (2005)

Research Interests:
Dr. Moon specializes in the development and analysis of crystallizable and triple shape memory polymers. His work integrates thermodynamic frameworks, computational modeling, and experimental studies to understand viscoelastic behavior under varying thermal and mechanical conditions. He also explores applications of ePortfolios in engineering education and academic integrity challenges in online learning environments.

Recent Research Trends:
His publications (2012–2021) consistently address shape memory polymers' mechanical responses, with recent work emphasizing pandemic-era academic ethics and innovative educational tools. A thematic focus on triple-shape effects, photo-adaptable properties, and crystallization dynamics underpins his contributions to polymer mechanics.
