About

Shrabanee Sen is a materials scientist whose work sits at the nexus of flexible electronics, energy harvesting, and smart sensing. Her research focuses on developing advanced polymer nanocomposites—particularly poly(vinylidene) fluoride (PVDF) systems—for next-generation wearable technologies. Sen’s most cited work introduces a novel architecture for electronic skins (e-skins) that integrates SiO₂ nanoparticles into PVDF to create a flexible, dual-mode platform capable of both piezoelectric energy harvesting and tactile sensing. This single-layer design enables low-cost, multimode measurement for applications in health monitoring, human–machine interfaces, and soft robotics. With 8 citations to date, this 2022 study has quickly gained traction for its elegant solution to a key challenge in the field: combining multiple functionalities in a single, scalable device. Sen’s contributions are helping to bridge the gap between laboratory prototypes and practical wearable systems, positioning her as a rising voice in the development of self-powered, intelligent materials for the Internet of Things and beyond.
