About

Pasindu Lugoda is a leading researcher in the field of flexible and wearable electronics, with a focus on developing novel materials and fabrication techniques for next-generation sensing systems. His work centers on creating soft, conformable electronic devices that can seamlessly integrate with the human body and textiles, enabling applications in smart tattoos, artificial skins, and soft robotics. Lugoda’s highly cited 2019 review, “Flexible Sensors—From Materials to Applications,” has garnered over 215 citations, establishing a foundational reference for the field. He has also made significant contributions to thin-film electronics on unconventional substrates, as detailed in his 2022 review, which has accumulated 79 citations. Notably, Lugoda pioneered the development of “Coco Stretch,” a biocompatible and inexpensive strain sensor made from natural coconut oil and carbon black-filled elastomers, demonstrating a creative approach to sustainable and accessible sensor technology. His research is distinguished by its emphasis on material innovation, environmental sustainability, and practical, real-world deployment, making him a key figure in advancing the frontier of wearable and flexible electronics.
