About
Celeste To is a leading researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, flexible electronics, and optical sensing. Her work focuses on developing robust, soft sensors that can withstand extreme conditions—a critical need as soft actuators become more prevalent in real-world applications. To’s most cited paper, “A Soft Optical Waveguide Coupled With Fiber Optics for Dynamic Pressure and Strain Sensing” (2018, 53 citations), introduces a novel approach that integrates soft optical waveguides with fiber optics to achieve highly sensitive, durable pressure and strain detection. This work addresses a key limitation of ultrathin flexible sensors, such as those used in electronic skin and wearables, by offering a more resilient alternative capable of operating in harsh environments. To’s contributions are foundational for advancing soft robotics, enabling safer human-robot interaction, and expanding the capabilities of wearable health monitors. Her research is widely recognized for bridging materials science and practical engineering, making her a notable figure in the push toward more adaptive and robust soft robotic systems.
