About
Hadi Heidari is a leading researcher at the intersection of flexible electronics, robotics, and intelligent health systems. His pioneering work on electronic skin—materials and devices that give robots and prosthetics a sense of touch—has garnered over 180 citations and is shaping the future of human-machine interaction. Heidari has made landmark contributions to self-powered tactile sensors, including hierarchically structured triboelectric nanogenerators and ultra-thin silicon-based piezoelectric touch sensors, enabling large-area, low-cost sensing arrays. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he demonstrated the power of smart and connected health by integrating IoT, AI, robotics, and blockchain to manage global health crises—a work cited more than 130 times. His innovations extend to wearable muscle-machine interfaces that achieve super-resolution control of electronic peripherals, and smart gloves that provide multisensory feedback—pressure, temperature, and humidity—to prosthetic hands. Heidari’s recent work on ultralight graphene-based patches for hand gesture recognition and wireless, self-powered chitosan pressure sensors for artificial mechanoreceptors continues to push boundaries. With over 500 total citations across his most influential papers, Heidari is a driving force in creating a future where machines feel, adapt, and connect seamlessly with humans.
