About
Manuel Reis Carneiro is at the forefront of soft electronics and wearable bioelectronics, pioneering materials and fabrication methods that bridge the gap between rigid electronics and the human body. His research focuses on developing self-healing conductive composites, liquid metal-based biphasic conductors, and fully printed soft actuators—technologies critical for next-generation robotics, e-textiles, and bio-integrated devices. Carneiro’s most impactful contribution is the creation of a self-healing electrically conductive organogel composite, which has garnered 282 citations for its breakthrough in restoring conductivity after mechanical damage. He also advanced soft electronics with gallium-based liquid–solid biphasic conductors (44 citations) and demonstrated the first fully digitally printed soft actuators using liquid crystal elastomers and biphasic liquid metal conductors (34 citations). His work on wearable pressure mapping via piezoresistive foam and tailor-made e-textiles (27 citations) has direct applications in rehabilitation and human movement analysis. Additionally, Carneiro developed a smart glove for robot teleoperation using printed stretchable sensors (16 citations), showcasing his commitment to translating lab innovations into functional interfaces. With recent contributions to soft skin-interfacing electrodes for bioelectronics (13 citations), Carneiro continues to shape the future of compliant, durable, and manufacturable electronic systems.
