About
Sahika Inal is a leading figure in bioelectronics, specializing in the design and application of organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors. Her research bridges materials science and biology, focusing on how polymers like PEDOT:PSS can be engineered to efficiently transport both ions and electrons—a critical property for devices that interface with living tissue. Inal’s most-cited work, a 2016 study on the structural control of mixed transport in conducting polymers (898 citations), established foundational design rules for optimizing these materials, enabling more sensitive and stable bioelectronic devices. Her contributions have directly advanced organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) and biosensors, with applications ranging from wearable health monitors to implantable neural interfaces. Recognized for her impact, Inal has received multiple awards, including the prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. Her work continues to shape the field, making her a key voice in the development of next-generation, biology-compatible electronics.
