About

Sami Myllymaa is a leading researcher in biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on developing advanced electrode technologies for biosignal monitoring and neural interfacing. His work centers on improving the electrochemical performance of flexible thin-film electrodes, a critical challenge for reliable, long-term biopotential recording. Myllymaa’s key contribution lies in the design and fabrication of micropillar array structures on flexible substrates, which dramatically reduce electrode-skin or electrode-tissue contact impedance. This innovation enables more stable, low-noise acquisition of bioelectrical signals, such as EEG or ECG, even under motion or challenging conditions. His most cited paper (28 citations) demonstrates how these micropillar electrodes outperform conventional flat designs by increasing the effective surface area without compromising flexibility. This work has direct implications for wearable health monitors, implantable neural prosthetics, and point-of-care diagnostic devices. Myllymaa’s research bridges materials science and clinical application, offering practical solutions for high-fidelity, patient-friendly biosensing. His contributions are particularly valued in the development of dry, non-gel electrodes that maintain performance over extended wear, advancing the frontier of continuous health monitoring and neural engineering.
