About
Defne Hiz is pioneering the frontier of soft electronics through advanced 3D printing of conductive polymers. Her research centers on omnidirectional direct ink writing (DIW) of PEDOT:PSS aerogels, creating mechanically compliant, stretchable structures that function as unconventional interconnects and thermoelectric devices. Her most cited work, published in 2025, demonstrates how tuning the electromechanical performance of these 3D-printed aerogels opens a "playground" for next-generation soft electronics that expand into the third dimension. With 21 citations already, this paper highlights her ability to bridge materials science and additive manufacturing, offering scalable solutions for stretchable electronics. Hiz’s contributions are critical for integrating functional 3D structures into wearable devices, soft robotics, and energy harvesting systems. By enabling precise control over electrical and mechanical properties through printing parameters, she is redefining how conductive polymers can be deployed in real-world applications. Her work stands out for its creativity and technical rigor, positioning her as a rising leader in the field of flexible and stretchable electronics.
