About
Rajarajan Ramalingame is a materials and sensor engineering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of flexible electronics, nanocomposite materials, and human-machine interaction. His research focuses primarily on developing advanced piezoresistive and capacitive pressure and strain sensors using carbon nanotube (CNT)-based polymer nanocomposites for applications in robotics, prosthetics, wearable health monitoring, and structural diagnostics. Ramalingame's most influential contribution — a comprehensive review on conductive polymer/CNT nanocomposites for flexible and stretchable sensors — has garnered over 268 citations, reflecting the field's growing appetite for scalable, customizable sensing solutions. His experimental work on MWCNT/PDMS-based tactile sensor arrays (66 citations) demonstrated exceptional sensitivity suited for robotic tactile feedback systems, while subsequent studies extended these capabilities to biomedical applications including muscle movement tracking and tele-manipulation. More recently, Ramalingame has expanded his scope to include sustainable materials — exploring natural doom palm leaf fibres as hybrid reinforcements in nanocomposite sensors — and human-robot interaction through gesture-based robot programming and EMG-FMG hybrid measurement systems. His body of work collectively advances the development of next-generation smart sensing technologies that are both high-performing and practically deployable across healthcare and industrial automation domains.
