About
Rakesh Vaid is a materials scientist and engineer whose research focuses on the development of advanced energy harvesting systems, particularly triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) for wearable and flexible electronics. His most cited work, "Synthesis and Characterization of a Transparent PMMA Based Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Wearable Electronic Applications" (2022), addresses the critical need for self-powered, maintenance-free portable devices in an era of soaring energy consumption. In this study, Vaid and his team engineered a transparent, flexible PMMA-based TENG that can efficiently convert mechanical motion into electrical energy, paving the way for powering next-generation wearable sensors and smart textiles without batteries. While his citation count is still growing—reflecting the nascent stage of this high-impact field—his contribution is notable for its emphasis on optical transparency and material compatibility, key requirements for seamless integration into consumer wearables. Vaid’s work sits at the intersection of nanotechnology, polymer science, and sustainable energy, and his transparent TENG design represents a promising step toward truly autonomous, eco-friendly electronic systems.
