About
Sandro Carrara is a leading figure in the field of bio/CMOS interfaces, with a research focus that bridges nanoelectronics, biosensors, and cyber-physical systems. His work is pivotal in advancing the development of smart, miniaturized sensing platforms for biomedical and robotic applications. A major contribution is his design of robust capacitive digital read-out circuits for scalable tactile skins, as demonstrated in his 2017 paper (18 citations), which enables sensitive, parasitic-free sensing for humanoid robots. Carrara has also pioneered the use of carbon nanotube-based electrochemical sensors for real-time monitoring of cell cultures, as shown in his 2010 work (5 citations), moving beyond traditional clinical metabolite detection to provide dynamic insights into cellular metabolism. His research impacts the creation of intelligent prosthetics, lab-on-chip devices, and wearable health monitors. Carrara’s achievements include leading the IEEE Sensors Council and contributing to the development of multi-walled carbon nanotube electrodes for glucose and lactate sensing, establishing him as a key innovator in the integration of nanotechnology with electronic systems for next-generation sensing.
