About

Gagan Bahadur Pradhan is an emerging researcher at the forefront of wearable electronics, energy harvesting, and human–machine interaction technologies. His work centers on developing advanced flexible and stretchable sensors, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), and self-powered sensing systems that bridge the gap between human physiology and intelligent machines. Pradhan's most celebrated contribution, a stretchable, all-directional strain-insensitive electronic glove, has garnered an impressive 114 citations since 2023, demonstrating its significant influence on the robotics and wearable electronics communities. His research into breathable, siloxene-incorporated porous SEBS-based triboelectric nanogenerators addresses a critical yet often overlooked challenge in wearable technology — user comfort — earning 47 citations and highlighting his human-centered design philosophy. Further expanding his portfolio, Pradhan has pioneered self-powered hybrid motion sensing systems integrating electromagnetic and triboelectric mechanisms, enabling sustainable wireless robotic control without external power sources. His most recent innovations, including a triboelectric-iontronic hybrid smart finger ring capable of static-dynamic tactile sensing, reflect a trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated, skin-inspired devices. Collectively, Pradhan's work positions him as a dynamic contributor to next-generation robotic skins, prosthetics, and intuitive human–machine interfaces.
