About
Dr. Gayatri Mehta is a leading figure in the field of two-dimensional (2D) materials and nanogenerators, with a primary focus on exploiting the piezoelectric properties of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) for next-generation sensing technologies. Her most cited work, "Asymmetric 2D MoS₂ for Scalable and High-Performance Piezoelectric Sensors" (2021, 81 citations), represents a major contribution to the field by addressing a critical bottleneck: the inherent centrosymmetry of bulk TMDs. Dr. Mehta’s research demonstrates how to engineer asymmetry in 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) to unlock its piezoelectric potential, paving the way for scalable, high-performance, and flexible sensors that can harvest mechanical energy. This work is notable for its practical approach to overcoming fundamental material limitations, bridging the gap between theoretical piezoelectricity in monolayers and real-world device applications. Her contributions are highly impactful, offering a clear pathway for developing self-powered, wearable electronics and biomedical sensors. Dr. Mehta’s research continues to inspire new strategies for designing energy-efficient, atomically thin devices that leverage the unique electromechanical coupling in 2D materials.
