About

Gaurav Khandelwal is a leading researcher in the field of flexible electronics and self-powered sensor systems, with a particular focus on electronic skins (e-skins) and smart textiles. His work centers on developing advanced nanomaterials and device architectures for healthcare, human-machine interaction, and wearable technology. Khandelwal’s major contributions include the creation of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)-based self-powered flexible pressure sensor capable of operating over an exceptionally wide pressure range (3.2–1176 kPa), demonstrating high sensitivity and durability. He has also pioneered textile-based triboelectric nanogenerators for self-powered wearable temperature sensing, and developed V₂O₅ nanowire-coated yarn sensors with wireless data transfer capabilities for smart textiles. His recent work on capacitive-triboelectric hybrid sensor systems successfully mimics human tactile perception by distinguishing between static and dynamic stimuli. With over 36 citations across his most-cited papers published between 2022 and 2024, Khandelwal’s research is gaining rapid recognition for its potential to revolutionize healthcare monitoring, sports performance tracking, and next-generation human-machine interfaces. His innovative integration of energy harvesting and sensing functionalities positions him as a rising star in the field of flexible and wearable electronics.
