About
Peddathimula Puneetha is a rising researcher at the forefront of flexible nanoelectronics and piezotronics, with a focus on developing next-generation wearable sensors. Her work centers on harnessing the piezotronic and piezophototronic effects—strain-induced changes in electronic and optoelectronic properties—in low-dimensional materials. A key contribution is the demonstration of temperature-dependent piezotronic behavior in CdS nanospheres (27 citations), providing fundamental insights for sensor stability. She has also pioneered ultra-flexible, coaxial fiber-shaped sensors integrating graphene, nylon, and PDMS (25 citations), achieving the small-scale, portable, and stable tactile sensing needed for on-body applications. Her research extends to strain-engineered piezotronics in monolayer MoS₂ thin films (20 citations) and nano-sized GaN films (24 citations), as well as a novel light-sensitive, strain-controlled bio-hybrid sensor combining DNA, graphene, and GaN (12 citations). By systematically exploring how mechanical strain modulates electronic and photonic responses, Puneetha is advancing the practical realization of self-powered, flexible, and biocompatible sensors for human-machine interfaces and health monitoring.
