Thin-Film Sensors on Soft, Elastic Substrates (Printed Electronics USA 2012)

 

Stéphanie P. Lacour received her M.S. degree in 1998 and Ph.D. in 2001 in Integrated Electronic Devices from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) in Lyon, France. From 2001 to 2005, she was on the research staff of the department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University, NJ to work on thin film electronics on polymeric substrates and stretchable electronics.

Our state-of-the-art foil processing and printing platform and unique expertise in microsystems at EPFL-LMTS allow cutting edge R&D on foil based smart systems. We are developing sensors, energy harvesting and integration technologies for the fabrication of energy efficient systems on polymeric, elastomeric, cellulosic and biodegradable substrates. Sensing, energy harvesting and storage, printing, and integration technologies for multi-layers flexible and stretchable hybrid systems are our core activities. We also have extended experience in transferring technology from R&D into viable products and processes for industry.
