About
Mina Hoorfar is a leading researcher in the fields of flexible electronics, wearable sensors, and human-robot interaction. Her most impactful work centers on developing low-cost, ultra-stretchable strain sensors for monitoring human motion and bio-signals, a paper that has garnered 83 citations and demonstrates her significant contribution to advancing accessible health-monitoring technologies. In a notable achievement, she pioneered a system that uses multiple strain sensors on a wearable flexible finger band to accurately measure human finger posture and movement. This system, combined with an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system, was further developed to control a robotic finger, effectively bridging the gap between human motion capture and robotic replication. This work, published in 2016, showcases her innovative approach to integrating sensing and control for applications in prosthetics and human-machine interfaces. Hoorfar’s research has substantial impact, providing foundational methods for creating durable, low-cost sensors that can be seamlessly integrated into wearable devices, with potential to transform rehabilitation, assistive technology, and interactive robotics.
