About

Tapajyoti Das Gupta is a leading researcher in the field of advanced functional fibers and stretchable electronics, with a focus on creating novel materials for healthcare, robotics, and wearable technologies. His major contributions include pioneering the development of superelastic multimaterial electronic and photonic fibers via thermal drawing, a breakthrough that enables the fabrication of highly elastic fibers capable of sustaining large deformations while maintaining complex functionalities. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 184 citations and is foundational for applications in soft robotics, surgical tools, and smart textiles. Das Gupta further advanced the field with his 2020 study on soft and stretchable liquid metal transmission lines, which serve as distributed probes of multimodal deformations—a highly cited work (205 citations) that demonstrates innovative approaches to sensing in deformable systems. His research also extends to super-elastic multi-material optical fibers for healthcare, highlighting his commitment to translating materials science into practical biomedical solutions. Through these achievements, Das Gupta has established himself as a key figure in the development of next-generation stretchable and functional fiber technologies.
