Curriculum Vitae

Aniket Chakraborthy is a researcher working in the field of flexible and wearable sensor technologies at the Chair of Acoustics and Haptics. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Product Design and Manufacturing, which provides a foundation in mechanical systems, materials processing, and device design. His work focuses on the design and integration of functional materials with polymers for piezoresistive piezoelectric and triboelectric sensing applications. He has experience in device fabrication and experimental characterisation, and has an interest in translating material properties into practical and scalable sensing platforms.

What are the main topics or questions that drive your research?

My research focuses on leveraging material chemistry to enhance the performance of flexible sensing platforms. I investigate how conductive materials and polymer-material interfaces influence charge generation, adsorption, and signal response. My objective is to design materials that are both practically applicable and that advance scientific knowledge.

What inspired you to pursue your current field of work?

My interest grew from curiosity about how material structure controls function. Through hands-on research, I became particularly motivated by working with functional materials in which fundamental chemistry directly translates into sensing and separation applications, which is why I chose this field.

What excites you most about being part of CeTI?

From a research perspective, I am motivated by the direct connection between fundamental material development, system-level integration, and real-world applications. Observing how functional materials and sensors transition from laboratory research to practical contributions in tactile feedback, human interactive systems, and intelligent interfaces is particularly inspiring. Being part of CeTI provides an environment where basic science, engineering, and societal impact are closely integrated, which aligns strongly with my aspirations for research career development.

Which challenge or question has recently sparked your curiosity?

I am currently interested in how material responses can be translated into stable, reliable signals within flexible, wearable systems. Addressing the challenge of bridging the gap between material performance and device-level robustness is a central focus of my research.

How do you like to recharge or spend your time outside of work?

Outside of work, I recharge through a combination of creative and physical activities. Painting and drawing help me relax and encourage creative thinking, while playing badminton keeps me active and clears my mind. Additionally, I enjoy walking, watching films, and playing board games with friends.
