About
Lucas Bahin is a researcher at the forefront of photonic textiles and soft polymer optics, with a focus on developing next-generation sensors for decentralized healthcare. His most-cited work, "Microfluidic wet spinning of soft polydimethylsiloxane polymer optical fibers" (2024, 4 citations), introduces a groundbreaking method for fabricating soft, flexible polymer optical fibers (POFs) using microfluidic wet spinning. This innovation addresses a critical bottleneck in the field: the difficulty of producing tailored POFs with the mechanical and optical properties required for wearable health monitoring. By enabling the precise, scalable creation of soft PDMS-based fibers, Bahin’s work directly supports the vision of healthcare@home technologies, where photonic textiles can continuously track physiological signals. Though early in his career, his contributions are already recognized for their potential to bridge materials science and biomedical engineering, offering a practical path toward integrating optical sensors into everyday fabrics. His research stands out for its elegant combination of microfluidics and polymer processing, promising to accelerate the development of comfortable, durable, and high-performance smart textiles for remote patient monitoring.
