About
Mohamad Yaacoub is a researcher focused on the intersection of smart materials and biomedical instrumentation, with a particular emphasis on piezoelectric polymers for tactile sensing. His work centers on developing and characterizing sensing systems that can mimic the human sense of touch, using materials like PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) to detect mechanical stimuli such as indentation, pressure, and vibration. In his most cited work, a 2023 pilot study, Yaacoub proposed a novel investigation into the response of a PVDF-based sensing system to controlled indentation, employing a 3-axis Cartesian robot to precisely vary indentation speeds and normal loads. This foundational study, which has garnered early citations, demonstrates the system's potential for applications in prosthetics, soft robotics, and human-machine interfaces. By systematically characterizing the polymer's electromechanical response, Yaacoub is contributing to the development of more sensitive and durable tactile sensors. His research holds promise for advancing haptic feedback technologies and creating more intuitive, responsive robotic systems that can interact safely and effectively with their environment.
