About

Anish Thukral is pioneering the frontier of soft, stretchable electronics, creating materials and devices that mimic the mechanical properties of biological tissue. His research focuses on rubbery semiconductors and elastomeric composites to build the next generation of wearable human-machine interfaces (HMIs), artificial neuromorphic skins, and soft robotics. Thukral’s major contributions include the development of the first fully stretchable synaptic transistors, which enable neurologically integrated soft systems, and highly sensitive strain sensors that can quantify large deformations for robotics and gesture translation. His work on metal oxide semiconductor nanomembranes has led to soft, unnoticeable multifunctional electronics for wearable HMIs, while his air/water interfacial assembled rubbery nanofilms have paved the way for fully rubbery integrated circuits. With over 1,200 citations across his top papers, Thukral’s innovations are foundational to the field. Notably, his 2019 paper on soft HMIs has garnered 300 citations, and his stretchable synaptic transistor paper has 293, underscoring their impact. His achievements include demonstrating biaxially stretchable transistors and artificial cognitive skins inspired by cephalopods, pushing the boundaries of what soft electronics can achieve.
