About

Sang Kyu Park is a leading researcher in the field of organic electronics, with a primary focus on the mechanical properties of organic semiconductors for flexible and stretchable devices. His most notable contribution is the pioneering discovery of super- and ferroelasticity in organic semiconductor single crystals, a breakthrough that directly addresses the long-standing challenge of combining high intrinsic charge transport with mechanical flexibility. His highly cited 2020 work demonstrated that these materials can undergo exceptional, reversible mechanical deformation—behaving like elastic metals—while maintaining their crystalline order and electronic performance. This finding has profound implications for the development of ultraflexible single-crystal electronics, a class of devices that could rival silicon in performance while being mechanically robust. With over 80 combined citations for this seminal work, Park’s research has established a new paradigm in organic electronics, bridging the gap between molecular-scale order and macroscopic deformability. His achievements are particularly notable for opening a new materials design space, making him a key figure in the future of wearable and bio-integrated electronics.
