About

Nivasan Yogeswaran is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of flexible electronics, electronic skin (e-skin), and advanced sensing technologies, with particular emphasis on robotics, prosthetics, and human-machine interaction. His most influential contribution, "Large-Area Soft e-Skin: The Challenges Beyond Sensor Designs" (2019, 296 citations), established him as a prominent voice in the field, critically examining the technological barriers to creating artificial tactile skin that mirrors human sensory capabilities. His 2015 review on new materials for electronic skin in interactive robots (181 citations) further cemented his reputation as a forward-thinking scholar in flexible and wearable electronics. A recurring theme throughout Yogeswaran's research is the development of graphene-based sensing devices — from low-voltage field-effect transistors coupled with biodegradable piezoelectric pressure sensors (96 citations) to ultra-flexible PRESSFETs enabling hands-free robotic control. His work consistently bridges cutting-edge materials science with real-world applications, including health monitoring, prosthetic limbs, and inclusive technologies such as tactile communication systems for deafblind individuals. With a cumulative citation record exceeding 650 citations, Yogeswaran's contributions represent a sustained and meaningful effort to bring truly responsive, adaptive electronic skin closer to practical reality.
