Praneeth Perera
PhD Student
I'm a PhD candidate exploring how electrical stimulation, primarily through electro-tactile feedback, can be used to create rich, controllable haptic experiences on the body. My research spans making electro-tactile technology more accessible, studying its psychophysical characteristics, developing computationally fabricated interactive interfaces, and investigating how it can be integrated with other haptic modalities to produce more realistic and expressive touch.
