About

Jeroen Missinne is a leading researcher in the field of optoelectronic tactile sensing, with a specific focus on developing ultra-thin, flexible sensors for biomedical and robotic applications. His major contributions center on the design and implementation of novel shear stress sensors that use embedded optical components to measure tactile forces with high precision. Unlike traditional rigid sensors, Missinne’s work enables unobtrusive, “artificial skin”-like solutions that can be wrapped around curved surfaces or moving body parts—a critical requirement for prosthetics, surgical tools, and human-robot interaction. His most cited paper, “Flexible Shear Sensor Based on Embedded Optoelectronic Components” (2011, 51 citations), established a foundational approach for monitoring tactile shear stresses in situ. He further advanced this concept with a two-axis optoelectronic shear sensor (2012, 20 citations) and continued refining ultra-thin optical designs (2011, 11 citations). Missinne also explored optical fiber sensors embedded in flexible polymer foils (2010, 9 citations), addressing key challenges in multiplexing and interconnection. His work bridges the gap between optical sensing and flexible electronics, making him a notable figure in the development of next-generation tactile interfaces for medicine and robotics.
