About

Dr. Binu B. Narakathu is a leading innovator in the field of flexible and printed electronics, with a primary focus on developing advanced sensor systems for wearable technology and human-machine interaction. His most impactful contribution is the creation of a novel carbon nanotube (CNT)-based capacitive pressure sensor, fabricated using screen printing on flexible substrates—a work that has garnered 90 citations and established a foundation for low-cost, scalable tactile sensing. By integrating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a dielectric layer, Dr. Narakathu demonstrated how printed sensors can achieve high sensitivity and flexibility, enabling applications in robotics and healthcare. Expanding into biomedical engineering, he developed a wireless robotic arm control system that uses piezoelectric sensors and neural networks to interpret forearm muscle activity, achieving 15 citations for its potential in assistive prosthetics. His recent exploration of fluorinated graphene for flexible temperature sensors further underscores his commitment to novel materials. Through these contributions, Dr. Narakathu has advanced the practical deployment of printed electronics, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world wearable devices.
