About
Epsita Kar is a leading researcher in the field of flexible electronics and energy harvesting, with a focus on developing smart, self-powered e-skins that mimic human tactile sensing. Her work integrates piezoelectric materials, nanotechnology, and multifunctional design to create wearable devices capable of simultaneous energy harvesting, pressure sensing, and environmental protection. Her most-cited paper, “Ultraviolet- and Microwave-Protecting, Self-Cleaning e-Skin for Efficient Energy Harvesting and Tactile Mechanosensing” (2019, 59 citations), introduced a groundbreaking hybrid e-skin that combines UV/microwave shielding with self-cleaning and mechanosensing capabilities—a major advance for robotics and healthcare monitoring. In her 2022 study on SiO₂ nanoparticle-incorporated PVDF composites, she demonstrated a low-cost, dual-mode sensing architecture that enables both pressure detection and energy harvesting from a single e-skin layer. With a growing citation record and contributions that bridge materials science, wearable technology, and human–machine interfaces, Kar’s work is shaping the next generation of intelligent, autonomous electronic skins for real-world applications.
