About

Jonathan T. Reeder is a leading figure in the field of flexible and stretchable electronics, with a particular focus on developing advanced sensors and systems for wearable health monitoring. His most celebrated contribution is the invention of a transparent, bending-insensitive pressure sensor, detailed in a seminal 2016 paper that has garnered over 825 citations. This work introduced a novel design that decouples pressure sensing from mechanical deformation, enabling accurate readings even when the device is flexed—a critical breakthrough for real-world wearable applications. Reeder’s research integrates materials science, microfabrication, and circuit design to create soft, skin-conformable devices that can continuously track physiological signals like pulse and blood pressure. His impact is underscored by the widespread adoption of his sensor concepts in both academic labs and industry, and he is recognized for advancing the reliability and practicality of epidermal electronics. Through his innovative contributions, Reeder has helped pave the way for next-generation medical diagnostics and human-machine interfaces that are comfortable, durable, and unobtrusive.
