Why biomimetics?
We are surrounded by problems and nature has solutions for each of our problems. I draw inspiration from nature and apply them to solving real-life problems. For instance, our skin is an example of a large area pressure, vibration, strain, and temperature sensor. Our basic five senses encompassing vision, hearing, smell, touch, and taste can be a great starting point for drawing inspiration for creating biomimetic next-generation smart devices.

Wearable sensors will play a significant role in the growth and evolution of Health 3.0. Wearable sensors provide intimate and valuable information to healthcare providers regarding the progression of disease in patients with critical life-altering conditions. In this context, polymer nanomaterial composites have drawn much research interest recently owing to their electrical and mechanical versatility for flexible sensing applications. This project is a humble effort towards laying the foundations for the utilization of polymer-nanomaterial composites for the facile fabrication of low-powered, inexpensive, robust, flexible, and wearable skin-inspired sensors for applications in IoT-enabled human physiological parameters monitoring and next-generation prosthetic devices. The four years of my graduate research were devoted to drawing inspiration from nature and applying them for applications in Human physiological parameters monitoring. The three widely used methods of sensing encompassing piezoelectric, piezoresistive and piezocapacitive sensing have been investigated with polymer-nanomaterial composites as the backbone.
