About

Adithi Krishnaprasad is a leading researcher at the frontier of bio-inspired electronics and two-dimensional (2D) materials. Her work focuses on engineering novel neuromorphic and sensory devices that mimic biological systems, with a particular emphasis on using atomically thin semiconductors like molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂). In a landmark 2020 study, she demonstrated an optoelectronic synapse using monolayer MoS₂ field-effect transistors, a device that integrates optical sensing with data processing and memory—a fundamental step toward autonomous AI and robotics. This work has garnered over 110 citations for its potential to unify vision and computation. In parallel, she pioneered an artificial nociceptor—a pain-sensing neuron—using a single MoS₂ threshold switching memristor. This volatile device replicates the key characteristics of biological pain receptors, offering a compact, hardware-based solution for intelligent sensory systems. With over 80 citations, this contribution is pivotal for developing robots that can react to harmful stimuli. Krishnaprasad’s research elegantly bridges materials science and neural engineering, establishing her as a key innovator in the quest for energy-efficient, brain-inspired computing and smart sensing technologies.
