About

Liam Ives is a researcher at the forefront of flexible and wearable sensing technologies, with a primary focus on integrating microfluidics and additive manufacturing for biomedical and robotic applications. His most notable contribution is the development of aerosol-jet-printed, conformable microfluidic force sensors, which combine capacitive sensing with thin, flexible form factors. This work, published in 2021 and cited 26 times, addresses a critical need for low-cost, deformable sensors compatible with commercial microelectronic chips, enabling applications in precision surgery, biomedical monitoring, and soft robotics. Ives’s approach leverages advanced printing techniques to create sensors that are both highly sensitive and mechanically robust, offering a scalable pathway for next-generation wearable electronics. His earlier 2020 paper on the same topic, though less cited, laid foundational groundwork for this innovation. By bridging materials science, microfluidics, and device engineering, Ives is driving progress toward practical, conformable force sensors that can seamlessly integrate into medical and robotic systems—a key step toward smarter, more responsive human-machine interfaces.
