About
Nazanin Khalili is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of flexible electronics, smart materials, and biomimetic sensing systems. Her research focuses on developing advanced piezoresistive sensors and conjugated polymer-based actuators with direct applications in electronic skin, wearable electronics, human-robot interaction, and minimally invasive surgical systems. Khalili's most impactful contribution is her 2018 work on interlocked flexible piezoresistive sensors featuring three-dimensional micropyramidal structures, which has garnered 44 citations and represents a significant step toward replicating human-like tactile sensing in artificial systems. Complementing this, her 2016 constriction resistance model for conjugated polymer-based piezoresistive sensors — cited 27 times — provided crucial theoretical grounding for understanding how these materials respond to mechanical stimuli, advancing the design of electronic skin technologies. Earlier in her career, Khalili explored the optimization of polypyrrole/multi-walled carbon nanotube (PPy/MWCNT) actuators, addressing both electrochemomechanical and geometrical-mechanical design challenges — work that underscores her commitment to multidisciplinary, application-driven engineering. Across her portfolio, Khalili has demonstrated a consistent ability to bridge materials science, mechanical engineering, and biomedical innovation, making her a notable contributor to the rapidly evolving field of soft robotics and intelligent sensing systems.
