About
Monika Rai is a rising expert in stretchable electronics and liquid metal-based devices, with a focus on understanding the thermal and mechanical behavior of these emerging materials. Her work centers on the interplay between mechanical deformation and electrical performance, particularly in liquid metal alloys like Galinstan (GaInSn), which are prized for their high conductivity and fluidity in flexible circuits. In her most-cited paper, "Influence of Uniaxial Stretching on the Joule Effect-Induced Heating of Liquid Metal-Based Stretchable Electronic Devices" (2025, 3 citations), Rai investigates how stretching affects heat generation during current flow—a critical factor for the reliability and safety of wearable and soft robotics applications. This research addresses a key gap in the field, as prior studies often overlooked the combined effects of strain and Joule heating. While still early in her career, Rai’s work is already shaping the design of next-generation stretchable electronics, offering insights that could improve thermal management in devices ranging from health monitors to soft actuators. Her contributions highlight the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in advancing flexible technology.
