“Takao Someya is a distinguished researcher known for his significant contributions to next-generation wearable technologies that utilize organic electronics for applications in healthcare, biomedicine, and robotics. His invention of electronic skin earned him widespread recognition, including a spot on TIME Magazine’s list of the best inventions of 2005. I have developed a close friendship with Takao and his family, which we truly cherish. This bond extends beyond our professional lives. ”
TUM Ambassador Professor Takao Someya:
“At TUM, I collaborated with researchers in robotics and cognitive science – fields far from my semiconductor expertise. The open and inclusive environment enabled rich interdisciplinary dialogue and led to a Science paper in 2020. This experience expanded my vision and remains one of the highlights of my academic career.”
