About
Dipankar Mandal is a leading researcher in the field of flexible energy harvesting and self-powered wearable electronics, with a particular focus on piezoelectric nanogenerators (PNGs). His work centers on engineering electroactive polymer composites and integrating two-dimensional materials to create high-performance, flexible devices. A major contribution is his pioneering use of 2D-MoS₂ and TiO₂ nanoparticles to modulate poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofiber webs, significantly enhancing their piezoelectric output for biomechanical and acoustic energy harvesting. His early work on MoS₂-modulated nanogenerators (109 citations) and TiO₂-based systems (107 citations) established foundational techniques in the field. More recently, Mandal has advanced the field by developing all-electrospun, water-resistant perovskite textiles for stable wearable PNGs and employing 3D-printed smart PLA fibers for giant mechanical energy harvesting, combined with machine learning for pressure mapping. His innovative algorithmically enhanced multimodal emotion sensor further demonstrates the broad applicability of his materials. With a growing portfolio of highly cited papers, Mandal is recognized for pushing the boundaries of flexible, self-powered systems for robotics, healthcare, and human-machine interfaces.
