About

Sampurna Saha is a researcher at the forefront of biomedical engineering and human-machine interfacing, with a focused expertise in the application of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMCs) for physiological sensing. Her major contribution lies in pioneering the use of IPMCs as electromyography (EMG) sensors to diagnose human arm activity, a novel approach that bridges soft robotics and clinical diagnostics. This work, detailed in her most-cited paper from 2022, demonstrates how these flexible, lightweight materials can effectively capture muscle signals, offering a promising alternative to conventional rigid electrodes for wearable health monitoring and prosthetic control. With 7 citations to date, her research is gaining traction for its potential to create more comfortable and adaptive diagnostic tools. Saha’s achievements highlight her ability to repurpose smart materials for non-traditional applications, positioning her as an innovator in the growing field of soft bioelectronics. Her work not only advances sensor technology but also opens new pathways for real-time, non-invasive assessment of neuromuscular function.
