About
Joshua Romano is a leading figure in flexible electronics and wearable haptic systems, whose work bridges materials science and human-machine interaction. His most-cited research introduces a groundbreaking class of skin-inspired tactile sensors, fabricated from electrospun bundled carbon nanofibers embedded in PDMS elastomers. This design enables highly sensitive, stitchable, and wearable piezoresistive sensors capable of detecting subtle pressure, proprioception, and complex gesture tracking—a major contribution to soft robotics and prosthetics. With over 70 citations for this flagship 2021 paper alone, Romano’s innovations have set a new benchmark for durable, low-cost tactile interfaces. His work is notable for its practical wearability, allowing sensors to be integrated directly into fabrics or skin patches without compromising flexibility. By combining scalable electrospinning techniques with biomimetic design, Romano has opened avenues for next-generation electronic skins, smart textiles, and assistive technologies. His research continues to inspire advances in human-centered sensing, making him a key voice in the evolution of intelligent, body-worn electronics.
