About
Salvatore A. Pullano is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work spans sensor technology, biomedical engineering, and intelligent monitoring systems. His expertise encompasses piezoresistive and piezoelectric sensing, ultrasonic transducers, and AI-driven rehabilitation systems, placing him at the intersection of materials science, electronics, and clinical applications. Pullano's most influential contribution is his 2018 comprehensive review of piezoresistive sensors — covering theory, technology, and applications — which has amassed over 560 citations, establishing him as a leading authority in the field. His sustained interest in PVDF-based ultrasonic technology is evident across multiple works, from early bio-inspired sonar systems for mobile robots that emulated bat echolocation, to thorough reviews of PVDF sensors for in-air applications and emerging air-coupled ultrasound systems for biomedical use. More recently, Pullano has embraced the fusion of finite element modeling and artificial intelligence, contributing an innovative framework for upper limb rehabilitation monitoring that bridges biomechanical simulation with embedded electronics. This trajectory reflects a researcher who continually evolves — from foundational sensor physics toward translational, clinically meaningful solutions. His body of work demonstrates both technical depth and a clear commitment to improving real-world outcomes in healthcare and robotics.
