About

Peter J. Skabara is a researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of flexible electronics, soft sensing technologies, and advanced manufacturing. His research focuses on the development of next-generation tactile and pressure sensors, with particular emphasis on electronic skin (e-skin) systems designed for applications spanning healthcare, wearables, and robotics. Skabara has made notable contributions to the fabrication of conformable sensing devices, exploring innovative manufacturing approaches such as direct ink writing and 3D printing to create cost-effective, scalable solutions for large-area sensor arrays. Among his most recognized contributions is his work on semiconductor-based printing techniques for flexible electronic skin, which has garnered 17 citations since its 2024 publication, reflecting rapid uptake in a fast-moving field. His investigations into elastomeric foam-based capacitive pressure sensors—published in both 2022 and 2023—have further advanced understanding of composite material systems for robust, flexible tactile interfaces. Collectively, his publications demonstrate a commitment to bridging laboratory innovation with practical, real-world deployment, addressing the engineering challenges of producing reliable, lightweight, and adaptable sensing systems suited to the demands of modern human-machine interaction and intelligent robotics.
