About

Andreia dos Santos is a leading researcher in the field of electronic skin (e-skin), with a focus on developing advanced pressure sensors for robotics and prosthetics. Her work centers on transduction mechanisms, micro-structuring techniques, and the application of piezoresistive sensors that mimic human skin’s sensitivity. Dr. dos Santos’s major contributions include pioneering the use of laser-engraved PDMS molds to create low-cost, highly sensitive e-skin sensors with tailored microstructures, such as micro-cones, which significantly enhance pressure detection. Her 2020 review on e-skin pressure sensors, with 60 citations, provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances, while her 2019 study on bimodal sensors for robotics and prosthesis, cited 36 times, demonstrates practical applications for improving tactile feedback in artificial limbs. Additionally, her 2018 work on laser-engraved molds, with 8 citations, showcases a scalable fabrication method for achieving high sensitivity. Dr. dos Santos’s research bridges materials science and engineering, offering innovative solutions for next-generation wearable and robotic systems. Her achievements highlight her as a key figure in advancing e-skin technology, with potential impacts on healthcare, human-machine interfaces, and beyond.
