Bioinspired soft sensors and wearables for biomedical applications
Ajay Kottapalli
Abstract: This talk will delve into the fascinating realm of biomimicry, exploring how the mechanosensory designs of biological sensors observed in nature can be ingeniously transposed into artificial polymer sensors and flexible electronic devices. Ajay Kottapalli’s research develops flexible electronic devices, artificial skin sensors, electronic tattoos and wearable sensors for tracking motion, monitoring physiological parameters (sweat sensing), and enhancing human-machine interactions. Flexible nanomaterial-based sensors, encompassing piezoresistive, piezocapacitive, and piezoelectric functionalities, were fabricated and seamlessly integrated into the Internet of Things (IoT), showcasing compelling demonstrations of their biomedical sensing and monitoring applications. The talk will elucidate the process of translating these biological inspirations into practical applications, particularly focusing on their integration into biomedical sensing and healthcare devices.
