About

Georgios Makris is a leading researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing, wearable electronics, and biomedical engineering. His work centers on developing innovative, low-cost sensor systems for real-time physiological and biomechanical monitoring, with a particular emphasis on gait analysis and plantar pressure measurement. Makris’s most cited work, “A 3D-Printed Capacitive Smart Insole for Plantar Pressure Monitoring” (2022, 36 citations), exemplifies his core contribution: integrating 3D printing with capacitive sensing to create customizable, high-performance wearables. This smart insole offers a practical, scalable solution for applications in clinical monitoring, rehabilitation, sports science, and robotics, moving gait analysis from the lab into everyday use. By demonstrating how accessible fabrication techniques can produce sophisticated medical devices, Makris is helping to democratize health monitoring technology. His research is paving the way for more personalized, affordable, and effective tools for understanding human locomotion and improving patient outcomes.
