About

Viktor Naenen is pioneering the next generation of soft electronics through advanced 3D printing of conductive polymer aerogels. His research centers on the intersection of additive manufacturing, stretchable electronics, and thermoelectric materials, with a particular focus on PEDOT:PSS—a highly conductive polymer. In his landmark 2025 work, "Omnidirectional 3D Printing of PEDOT:PSS Aerogels with Tunable Electromechanical Performance," Naenen demonstrates a novel direct ink writing (DIW) technique that enables the fabrication of three-dimensional, mechanically compliant structures. This breakthrough allows for the precise tuning of electromechanical properties, creating a versatile platform for unconventional stretchable interconnects and thermoelectric devices. Already garnering 21 citations shortly after publication, this work has quickly established Naenen as a rising leader in the field. His contributions are critical for advancing soft robotics, wearable sensors, and energy harvesting technologies, where traditional rigid electronics fail. By merging materials science with advanced manufacturing, Naenen is unlocking new design freedoms for functional, deformable electronics that can conform to complex, dynamic environments.
