About

Dr. Jana Rieger is a leading innovator in the field of flexible electronics, with a primary focus on developing advanced materials for electronic skin (e-skin) and wearable sensor technologies. Her research uniquely bridges the gap between high-performance sensing and intuitive, real-time data visualization. A standout contribution is her development of a groundbreaking flexible sensor array that combines a thermochromic and piezocapacitive design, utilizing composite elastomer dielectrics and transparent ionic hydrogel electrodes. This work, which has garnered 54 citations, enables simultaneous pressure and temperature detection with a visible color-changing indicator—a significant step toward truly interactive e-skins for human-machine interfaces, functional prostheses, and health monitoring. By integrating multifunctional capabilities into a single, elegant platform, Dr. Rieger’s research addresses a critical challenge in the field, moving beyond complex, multi-component systems. Her work is not only highly cited but also sets a benchmark for creating intuitive, user-friendly wearable devices that can communicate sensory information directly to the user, marking her as a pivotal figure in the evolution of next-generation soft electronics.
