About
Dr. Katja Myllymaa is a leading researcher in the development of advanced biomedical sensors and implantable electrode technologies. Her work focuses on enhancing the interface between electronic devices and biological tissues, particularly for neural recording and stimulation. A key contribution is her pioneering use of micropillar array structures to improve the electrochemical performance of flexible thin-film electrodes. In her highly cited 2012 study, she demonstrated that these microstructured surfaces significantly reduce electrode contact impedance, a critical factor for achieving stable, high-fidelity biosignal recordings. This innovation directly addresses the challenge of maintaining reliable, low-noise electrical contact with soft, dynamic tissues, enabling more effective long-term neural interfaces. With over 28 citations, this foundational work has influenced the design of next-generation bioelectrodes for applications ranging from brain-computer interfaces to implantable diagnostic devices. Dr. Myllymaa’s research continues to push the boundaries of flexible bioelectronics, making her a key figure in the quest for more biocompatible and high-performance neural implants.
