About

Jennifer Y. Gerasimov is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of organic bioelectronics and neuromorphic engineering. Her work centers on developing ion-based electronic devices that can seamlessly interface with biological systems, with major contributions in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) and artificial synapses. Her landmark 2022 paper, "Organic electrochemical neurons and synapses with ion mediated spiking," has garnered 289 citations and introduces a new class of neuromorphic devices that mimic neural signaling using ions rather than electrons—a critical step toward biocompatible brain-machine interfaces, prosthetics, and soft robotics. This work demonstrates how organic electronics can achieve spiking behavior and synaptic plasticity with low energy consumption and direct biological compatibility. Gerasimov has also advanced flexible, printed electronics, as shown in her 2021 study on low-power, high-gain complementary circuits based on printed OECTs, which enables sensitive signal extraction for medical diagnostics and IoT applications. Her research bridges materials science, device physics, and neuroscience, offering transformative pathways for next-generation bio-integrated technologies.
