About

Bruno Torre is a leading researcher in flexible tactile sensing and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), with a focus on integrating smart materials for multifunctional sensors. His most-cited work, "Tactile multisensing on flexible aluminum nitride" (2012, 30 citations), pioneered the use of polycrystalline aluminum nitride (AlN) on flexible substrates to create elastic tactile sensors that simultaneously exploit piezoelectric and capacitive responses under normal stress. This dual-mode sensing capability—detecting both dynamic and static forces—marked a significant advance in soft robotics and wearable haptics. Torre’s contributions have helped bridge the gap between rigid MEMS and flexible electronics, enabling more robust, scalable tactile interfaces. His work is widely recognized for its elegance in combining material science with device engineering, offering a pathway to low-cost, high-sensitivity sensors for biomedical and industrial applications. With a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of flexible sensor technology, Torre continues to influence the next generation of smart, adaptive systems.
