About

S. Dussoni is a researcher specializing in flexible and stretchable electronics, with a particular focus on electronic skin technologies and advanced nanomaterial-based sensing systems. Their work sits at the intersection of materials science, soft robotics, and human-robot interaction, contributing meaningfully to the development of next-generation haptic and tactile sensing platforms. Dussoni's most significant contribution is their pioneering research comparing carbon nanofiber and graphene-based stretchable capacitive touch sensors for artificial electronic skin applications. Published in 2017, this work has garnered 139 citations, establishing it as a landmark study in the field. The research addressed a critical challenge in robotic touch sensing — achieving sensitivity at flexible joints such as fingers and elbows — while also proposing cost-effective fabrication approaches that move beyond conventional multi-step silicone-based manufacturing processes. Building on this foundation, Dussoni continued to refine and extend these findings, with a 2021 study on stretchable graphene and carbon nanofiber sensors for robotic skin applications accumulating an additional 33 citations. Collectively, their body of work has helped advance the scientific community's understanding of how nanomaterial composites can enable more capable, affordable, and mechanically robust electronic skin systems suited for soft robotics and humanoid applications.
