About
Bernhard Weisse is a leading researcher in the field of soft photonics and fiber-based sensor technologies, with a particular focus on advancing healthcare-at-home applications. His work centers on the development and optimization of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based soft polymer optical fibers (POFs), pioneering new fabrication methods and exploring their processing-property relationships. Weisse’s major contributions include demonstrating the potential of these flexible fibers for critical sensing applications, such as strain, temperature, and pressure monitoring, which are essential for wearable and textile-integrated sensors. Notably, his 2023 paper on the processing-property relationship and pressure sensing capabilities of PDMS POFs has garnered 19 citations, highlighting its foundational impact in the field. More recently, in 2024, he introduced an innovative microfluidic wet spinning technique for fabricating tailored soft POFs, addressing a key challenge in producing fibers with the specific properties needed for photonic textile sensors. This work is pivotal for enabling comfortable, continuous health monitoring technologies. Through his research, Weisse is driving the evolution of soft, flexible photonic components that promise to transform personal healthcare and smart textile systems.
