Abstract:
The future of electronics lies in sustainability, adaptability, and multifunctionality. This talk will present recent breakthroughs in the development of sustainable materials and bioinspired architectures for next-generation flexible electronic systems. It will highlight ongoing research at the University of Turku that combines biodegradable polymers, durable nanomaterials, and nature-inspired design principles to fabricate breathable, stretchable, and scalable devices. By employing hybrid fabrication techniques including electrospinning, 3D printing, nanoacoustic assembly, and direct templating, we create electronic skins, soft sensors, and interfaces with enhanced environmental and functional performance. The lecture will also emphasize the role of micro/nanostructuring in achieving mechanical compliance and multifunctionality for emerging wearable and soft robotic applications.

Biography of the lecturer:
Vipul Sharma, Ph.D. is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, University of Turku, Finland, and a visiting scientist at the University of Freiburg, Germany. He completed his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi in 2018 on the topic of biomimetic surfaces for technological applications. He was the recipient of the Commonwealth split-site fellowship and Kyushu University student grant to pursue parts of his PhD thesis in Japan and the UK. He joined Tampere University in Finland as a postdoctoral researcher in 2018 and was awarded the prestigious Academy of Finland fellowship in 2020. He has authored and co-authored more than 49 international journal and conference articles in the fields of nanotechnology, bioinspiration/biomimetics, and flexible electronics. He is currently heading the research group Materials for Flexible Devices. As a PI, he is leading projects related to flexible electronics, biomimetics, and water harvesting. His main interests are sustainable polymers, 2D materials, plasmonic nanomaterials, and cleanroom-free nanofabrication for applications in flexible electronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices.
