About
Ajay Pratap is a rising researcher in the field of energy harvesting and self-powered sensing, with a focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) for wearable and skin-interfaced electronics. His work centers on developing flexible, skin-contact devices that convert mechanical motion into electrical energy, enabling applications in healthcare monitoring, robotic tactile sensing, and human-machine interfaces. In his highly cited 2022 paper, Pratap introduced elastic and skin-contact TENGs, demonstrating their potential for self-powered electronic skins—a contribution that has garnered 33 citations and helped shape the direction of soft energy harvesting. More recently, in 2025, he pioneered the direct writing of PVBVA/Ti3C2Tx MXene-based TENGs, a novel fabrication approach that enhances device flexibility and performance for energy harvesting and tactile sensing. This work, already accumulating 9 citations, highlights his innovative use of MXene materials to improve triboelectric output. Pratap’s research bridges materials science and device engineering, offering scalable solutions for next-generation wearable electronics. His contributions are particularly impactful for students and researchers exploring self-powered systems, soft robotics, and smart textiles.
