About

Akshaya Kumar Aliyana is a rising leader in the field of wearable energy harvesting and smart textiles, with a primary focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). His research centers on developing high-performance, fabric-based TENGs (F-TENGs) that can power Internet of Things (IoT) devices and enable touch-sensing applications without conventional batteries. Aliyana’s major contributions include pioneering the use of bimetallic electrodes on fabric substrates to significantly enhance energy output and sensitivity, a breakthrough detailed in his 2024 work, which has already garnered 27 citations. He has also advanced the manufacturing frontier by demonstrating direct 3D printing of triboactive polymer layers onto stretchable conductive fabrics, overcoming critical adhesion and high-temperature challenges to produce durable, high-performance textile TENGs (T-TENGs), as reported in his 2025 study (17 citations). This work is notable for bridging additive manufacturing with wearable energy technology. With his papers rapidly accumulating citations, Aliyana is establishing himself as a key innovator in sustainable, self-powered wearable systems, pushing the boundaries of how fabrics can generate and sense energy for next-generation smart applications.
