About
Dr. S. Lacour is a pioneer in the field of soft bioelectronics and stretchable sensors, with a core focus on developing robust, conformable interfaces between electronics and living tissue. Her most-cited work, "Extremely robust and conformable capacitive pressure sensors based on flexible polyurethane foams and stretchable metallization" (2013, 135 citations), exemplifies her major contribution: engineering devices that can withstand extreme mechanical deformation—including stretching, folding, and even autoclaving—without losing functionality. By integrating elastomeric foam dielectrics with stretchable metallic electrodes, Lacour created sensors that maintain high sensitivity under the demanding conditions of biomedical implantation and wearable use. This breakthrough has been instrumental in advancing electronic skins, neural interfaces, and prosthetic feedback systems. Her research consistently bridges materials science and biomedical engineering, demonstrating that electronics can be not only flexible but also resilient enough for real-world clinical translation. Lacour’s work has earned her recognition as a leader in the field, with her innovations directly enabling next-generation technologies for health monitoring and human-machine interaction.
