Profile of Joycelyn Harrison, NASA Engineer and Inventor

Joycelyn Harrison is a NASA engineer at the Langley Research Center researching piezoelectric polymer film and developing customized variations of piezoelectric materials (EAP). Materials that will link electric voltage to motion, according to NASA, "If you contort a piezoelectric material a voltage is generated. Conversely, if you apply a voltage, the material will contort." Materials that will usher in a future of machines with morthing parts, remote self-repairing abilities, and synthetic muscles in robotics.

Concerning her research Joycelyn Harrison has stated, "We're working on shaping reflectors, solar sails and satellites. Sometimes you need to be able to change a satellite's position or get a wrinkle off of its surface to produce a better image."

Joycelyn Harrison was born in 1964, and has bachelor's, master's and Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Joycelyn Harrison has received the:
