About
Giovanni Santagiuliana is a leading researcher in the development of flexible, stretchable, and self-powered electronic materials. His work sits at the intersection of polymer science, nanotechnology, and energy harvesting, with a primary focus on creating robust sensors for soft robotics, health monitoring, and the Internet of Things. Santagiuliana’s major contribution lies in engineering thermoelectric polymer composites that can generate power from body heat or environmental gradients, eliminating the need for external batteries. His most influential work, "Toward Stretchable Self‐Powered Sensors Based on the Thermoelectric Response of PEDOT:PSS/Polyurethane Blends" (220 citations), pioneered a new class of stretchable, self-powered sensors. He further advanced the field by developing n-type thermoelectric composites, such as those based on polyurethane/Na<i><sub>x</sub></i>(Ni-ett)<i><sub>n</sub></i> (37 citations), and by solving the critical nanoparticle loading-dispersion dichotomy in polymer nanocomposites through an innovative “croissant-making” technique (39 citations). His research has collectively garnered over 300 citations, establishing him as a key innovator in next-generation, maintenance-free electronic skins and wearable devices.
