About
Su Ryon Shin is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of bioinspired robotics, bioelectronics, and tissue engineering, whose work has fundamentally advanced how scientists design and build living machines. Best known for developing electrically driven bioinspired soft robots that harness self-actuating cardiac muscle tissue on hierarchically structured scaffolds — a landmark 2018 paper that has garnered nearly 200 citations — Shin has consistently pushed the boundaries of what biohybrid systems can achieve. Her research introduced wirelessly powered 3D-printed biohybrid robots with multiscale mechanical properties and, more recently, wirelessly steerable neuromuscular robots that exploit neurocardiac junctions to replicate the nervous system's control of biological motion. Beyond robotics, Shin has made significant strides in intelligent bioprinting, developing computer vision-guided robotic systems for in situ wound care and personalized tissue regeneration. Her modular approaches to material-tissue interfaces, cited over 100 times, have further broadened the toolkit available to engineers and clinicians alike. Collectively, her body of work — spanning soft robotics, bioelectronics, and smart manufacturing — represents a transformative contribution to next-generation biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine.
