About

Khushdeep Sharma is pioneering the development of soft polymer optical fibers (POFs) for next-generation wearable sensing technologies. His research focuses on the processing-property relationships of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based fibers, with a particular emphasis on their application in pressure, strain, and temperature sensing. Sharma’s major contributions include the in-depth analysis of PDMS POFs for photonic textile sensors, enabling healthcare-at-home technologies through flexible, body-compatible optical fibers. His most-cited work (2023, 19 citations) explores the full processing-property relationship of these fibers, while his innovative microfluidic wet spinning method (2024, 4 citations) addresses the long-standing challenge of fabricating tailored soft POFs with precise mechanical and optical properties. By solving key fabrication hurdles, Sharma’s work directly advances the integration of photonic sensors into smart textiles for continuous health monitoring. His research sits at the intersection of materials science, microfluidics, and biomedical engineering, offering scalable solutions for soft, stretchable optical sensors. With his recent publications already gaining traction, Khushdeep Sharma is establishing himself as a rising expert in soft photonics and wearable sensor technologies.
