About

Elena Laukhina is a leading figure in the field of organic electronics, specializing in the development of advanced functional materials for flexible sensors. Her research focuses on the design and application of organic molecular conductors and their integration into bilayer films for highly sensitive detection. A major contribution is her pioneering work on a pyroresistive all-organic infrared bolometer (2015, 24 citations), which demonstrated that thin layers of submicrometer-sized crystals on a polymeric film can function as both a direct-contact thermometer and a passive infrared sensor, capable of rapidly detecting a wide range of wavelengths. Earlier, she developed a high piezoresistive organic film for plastic pressure sensors (2007), where a conducting microcrystalline layer served as a sensitive material for detecting and transmitting pressure data, with the polymeric matrix acting as both diaphragm and support. Her work has been instrumental in advancing flexible, lightweight, and low-cost sensing technologies. Laukhina’s achievements highlight her expertise in molecular materials and their practical application in next-generation electronic devices, making her a key contributor to the field of organic sensor technology.
