About

Jarred Fastier-Wooller is a leading innovator in the field of electronic skin (e-skin) and tactile sensing, with a focus on creating low-cost, multimodal sensors for soft robotics and human-machine interfaces. His research centers on developing flexible, paper-based and fibrous sensors that can simultaneously measure pressure, temperature, and static and dynamic forces. Fastier-Wooller’s major contributions include the invention of a low-cost graphite-on-paper pressure sensor (21 citations) that boasts an exceptionally fast response time and a trivial fabrication process, and a highly versatile multimodal fibrous tactile sensor (37 citations) capable of acquiring load measurements under both static and dynamic modes. His most-cited work, a pressure and temperature sensitive e-skin for in situ robotic applications (67 citations), demonstrates a practical, multi-layered sensing platform that integrates temperature and pressure sensing for real-world robotic use. Fastier-Wooller has also advanced self-powered sensing with a low-power PVDF-TrFE e-skin (5 citations) that measures static forces and high-frequency impacts. His work is notable for its emphasis on ultra-low-cost, solvent-free fabrication processes, making advanced tactile sensing accessible for widespread applications in robotics and wearable health monitoring.
