About
Gabriel Gagnon-Turcotte is a researcher at the forefront of wearable sensing and smart textile technologies, with a primary focus on motion detection and analysis using flexible, stretchable fiber sensors. His major contribution lies in the development of a novel, integrated system that combines multimaterial fibers—composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for conductivity and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for elasticity—with miniaturized, wireless electronic interface circuits. This work enables real-time, portable motion analysis when the sensors are embedded directly into smart garments, offering a comfortable and unobtrusive alternative to traditional rigid sensors. His most-cited paper (2023, 4 citations) and its preceding work (2022, 2 citations) have laid the groundwork for practical wearable motion capture, with potential applications in rehabilitation, sports science, and human-computer interaction. By addressing both the material science and the circuit design challenges, Gagnon-Turcotte has demonstrated a holistic approach to wearable technology, making significant strides toward truly integrated, everyday motion-sensing clothing.
