Biography

Kristel Fobelets is a professor specializing in nanodevices, contributing significantly to the field of silicon-based nanostructures for sensing, thermoelectricity, and supercapacitor technologies. She has developed innovative solutions including a fully knitted version of a respiratory inductive plethysmography belt, which is ultra-wearable and ultra-sensitive. Knitted sensors have opened opportunities for wearable garments with multimodal functionality. Fobelets currently serves as the deputy head of her department, leading in teaching innovation and learning support. She directed Undergraduate Studies from 2014 to 2021, championing a curriculum review and chairing the Faculty's e-Learning Implementation Group. Furthermore, she is a member of the College's Senate and the Global Development Hub at Imperial College London. Her research vision focuses on supporting wearable technology for a zero pollution economy, investigating the use of non-scarce and non-poisonous materials for sensors and energy generator storage devices. Fobelets aims to develop non-hazardous, recyclable, and flexible devices for garments to create responsibly sourced wearable technology.
