About

Piero Cosseddu is a leading researcher in the field of organic electronics and flexible sensing technologies, with a primary focus on developing artificial skin and tactile sensors for robotics and biomedical applications. His major contributions center on the integration of piezoelectric polymers, particularly polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), with organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) to create large-area, flexible, and multimodal tactile sensor arrays. His most cited work, "Piezoelectric Polymer Transducer Arrays for Flexible Tactile Sensors" (127 citations), pioneered a novel approach for implementing flexible artificial skin with high-frequency electromechanical transduction. Cosseddu further advanced the field with his work on "Ultrathin, flexible and multimodal tactile sensors based on organic field-effect transistors" (115 citations), which demonstrated simultaneous temperature and force sensing on conformable substrates. His research has achieved remarkable impact, with total citations exceeding 350 across his top papers. Notably, his recent work on "Real‐Time Force Monitoring of Electrically Stimulated 3D‐Bioengineered Muscle Bioactuators Using Organic Sensors" (2024) represents a groundbreaking application of his sensor technology in biohybrid systems, bridging organic electronics with tissue engineering. Through projects like ROBOSKIN, Cosseddu has established himself as a key innovator in flexible, organic-based sensing systems for robotics and healthcare.
