Sohini Kar-Narayan is a British–Indian materials scientist, professor at the University of Cambridge and the editor-in-chief of the journal APL Electronic Devices, published by the American Institute of Physics.[1] [2] Her research considers polymer based materials for energy harvesting. She was awarded the 2023 Royal Society of Chemistry Peter Day Prize.[3]

Early life and education

Kar-Narayan was born and raised in Nigeria[4] before moving to India to earn her undergraduate degree at the Presidency University, Kolkata.[5] She was a graduate student at the Indian Institute of Science.[6] After earning her doctorate in 2009, she moved to the University of Cambridge, where she was awarded a Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship.[7]

Research and career

Kar-Narayan was made a lecturer at the University of Cambridge in 2015, and then a professor in 2018. Her research considers the development of nanomaterials for sensing, biomedical applications and energy.[8] [9] She was awarded a European Research Council Starting Grant to develop piezoelectric nanogenerators.[10]

In 2022, Kar-Narayan was awarded the Armourers and Brasiers' Venture Prize for ArtioSense, a smart sensor that can help orthopaedic surgeons provide personalised care following surgical implants. Kar-Narayan developed microfluidic force sensors that facilitate soft tissue balance and help to precisely place implants.[11] She created the sensor in partnership with surgeons, recognising that they needed to complement the surgical process without changing the workflow.[12]
