About
Inkyu Park is a pioneering researcher in flexible and wearable electronics, whose work spans stretchable strain sensors, pressure sensors, soft actuators, and sensor-integrated medical devices. Based at the intersection of materials science and biomedical engineering, Park has made transformative contributions to the design and fabrication of next-generation sensing technologies capable of conforming to the human body. His highly influential 2016 review on stretchable, skin-mountable strain sensors has garnered over 3,000 citations, establishing itself as a foundational reference in the field and reflecting the extraordinary reach of his scholarly impact. Park's laboratory has pioneered innovative sensing mechanisms — including microporous elastomeric dielectrics for pressure sensing, carbon nanotube-embedded elastomers with microcracks for optical strain detection, and biocompatible hydrogel-based sensors — consistently pushing the boundaries of sensitivity, stretchability, and wearability. His research directly enables applications in personalized healthcare monitoring, human motion detection, human-machine interfaces, and soft robotics. More recently, Park has expanded his vision toward flexible polymer actuators and sensor-integrated surgical tools, demonstrating a sustained commitment to translating fundamental materials innovations into clinically meaningful technologies. With thousands of citations accumulated across a diverse body of work, Park stands as a defining voice in the global wearable electronics research community.
