From skin and printed electrodes, to sustainable wearable sensors

Abstract

After three years of postdoctoral research in Japan and Portugal, I am delighted to return to LMGP and Grenoble INP, UGA as Maîtresse de Conférences. In this seminar, I will present an overview of my past research, spanning skin and printed electronics, as well as insights into my new project at LMGP. During my JSPS Fellowship in the Someya Lab (University of Tokyo), I worked on organic-based, skin-conformable gold nanomesh electrodes for health monitoring, addressing the challenges of soft–rigid interfaces and their integration into smart apparels. Later, at CENIMAT|i3N (NOVA University of Lisbon), I explored various additive manufacturing approaches for printed electronics, both at large and microscale, developing multi-stack heaters on paper with improved uniformity for industrial projects, and high-resolution microelectrodes for memristive devices. Building on these experiences, my research at LMGP now focuses on transparent and flexible electrodes on textiles, particularly to understand and improve the interfaces between metallic nanowires and fabrics, in order to develop robust and sustainable sensors for next-generation wearable healthcare technologies.

Short Bio/CV

Dorina Papanastasiou is Maîtresse de Conférences at LMGP, Grenoble INP – Phelma, Université Grenoble Alpes, since September 2025. Her research focuses on the physics of sustainable materials and devices, bridging nanostructured electrodes and flexible electronics. She conducted her PhD at LMPG and later worked as a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow in Someya Lab (University of Tokyo) and LIMMS/IIS-CNRS on skin-conformable electrodes for health monitoring, and as a Junior Researcher at CENIMAT|i3N (NOVA University of Lisbon) on printed flexible heaters and microelectrodes for IoT applications. Beyond research, she is actively engaged in science outreach, climate action, and gender equity initiatives.
