About
Laure V. Kayser is a leading researcher at the intersection of polymer chemistry and soft electronics, with a primary focus on developing advanced materials for haptic interfaces and wearable technologies. Her most celebrated contribution is the creation of a wireless multimodal haptic glove, detailed in her highly cited 2020 paper (60 citations), which uses an elastomeric conductive block copolymer to generate realistic virtual textures. This work broke new ground by enabling the glove to simulate not just bulk material properties, but also nuanced near-surface sensations—specifically hardness, temperature, and roughness—a longstanding challenge in the field. By integrating these three sensory feedback modalities into a single, flexible device, Kayser has significantly advanced the realism of virtual touch, with profound implications for virtual reality, prosthetics, and remote surgery. Her research elegantly bridges fundamental polymer science with practical device engineering, positioning her as a key innovator in the quest to make digital interactions feel authentically physical. Her work continues to inspire new directions in soft robotics and human-machine interfaces.
