About
Petr Bartu is a researcher at the forefront of flexible and stretchable electronics, with a primary focus on developing novel sensor technologies for large-area and wearable applications. His major contributions lie in creating innovative position-sensitive and pressure-sensitive devices that overcome the limitations of traditional rigid semiconductor-based sensors. Bartu pioneered the use of luminescence-collecting silicone waveguides for conformable, large-area position-sensitive photodetectors, a breakthrough that enables the fabrication of flexible sensors on curved substrates at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods. His work on flexible touch- and pressure-sensitive piezo elastomer stretch sensors further advanced the field by addressing the critical need for stretchability—beyond mere flexibility—in applications like robotic skin and fabric-integrated wearable sensors. While his most-cited paper has garnered 18 citations, the true impact of Bartu’s research is measured by its foundational role in enabling a new generation of robust, low-cost, and adaptable sensing systems. His achievements are particularly notable for bridging the gap between organic electronics and practical, real-world deployment in robotics and wearable technology.
