About

Rohit Uppal is a researcher at the forefront of soft and stretchable photonics, with a focus on developing advanced elastomeric materials for optical waveguides. His most-cited work, "Low attenuation soft and stretchable elastomeric optical waveguides" (2021), has garnered 5 citations and represents a significant contribution to the field of flexible optoelectronics. In this study, Uppal and his team engineered novel elastomeric waveguides that maintain low optical loss even under significant mechanical deformation—a critical challenge for applications in wearable sensors, soft robotics, and biomedical devices. By optimizing material composition and fabrication techniques, his work enables reliable light transmission in stretchable systems, paving the way for next-generation conformable photonic circuits. This achievement underscores Uppal's expertise in polymer engineering and optical design, bridging the gap between traditional rigid optics and emerging soft technologies. His research holds promise for creating more durable and efficient stretchable displays, health monitors, and implantable devices. As the demand for flexible electronics grows, Uppal's foundational contributions to low-attenuation soft waveguides position him as a key innovator in the evolving landscape of soft photonics.
