About

H. Richter is a leading innovator in flexible electronics, specializing in ultra-thin, high-performance systems that merge mechanical adaptability with advanced semiconductor technology. Their research centers on hybrid systems-in-foil (HySiF), flexible CMOS stress sensors, and smart electronic skin—enabling next-generation wearable devices, robotic grippers, and medical diagnostics. Richter’s major contributions include the development of an ultra-thin (20 μm) flexible CMOS stress sensor, demonstrated on an adaptive robotic gripper, which allows precise measurement of in-plane stress for object shape extraction and operational feedback. Their 2018 work on a smart electronic skin, integrating three flexible electronics technologies, has garnered 32 citations, highlighting its impact on large-area, bendable systems. Richter also designed a CMOS readout circuit for printed strain gauges, advancing signal processing in flexible platforms. With over 70 total citations across key publications, Richter’s work is foundational to the HySiF concept, enabling robust, flexible chips that maintain high performance under mechanical strain. Their achievements have been presented at top venues like the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference, underscoring their role in shaping the future of adaptive, flexible electronic systems.
