About
Kenjiro Fukuda is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of flexible electronics, soft robotics, and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). His work centers on creating ultra-flexible, body-integrated power sources and electronic systems that can seamlessly conform to curved surfaces, living organisms, and even insects. A major contribution is the development of ultraflexible OPVs just 3 µm thick, achieving over 13% efficiency with enhanced environmental stability, as highlighted in his highly cited 2020 study (68 citations). He has also demonstrated the integration of body-mounted organic solar cells on cyborg insects without impeding their mobility (68 citations, 2022). With over 498 citations for his work on flexible self-charging power sources (2022) and 344 citations for organic transistors with high thermal stability for medical applications (2012), his impact is substantial. Notably, he contributed to the influential "Roadmap on Soft Robotics" (105 citations, 2022) and has advanced robust transparent electrodes for high-performance OPVs (85 citations, 2018). Fukuda’s research is critical for powering wearable electronics, soft robots, and autonomous insect-scale devices, pushing the boundaries of what electronics can achieve on and inside the body.
