About

Greg Pak is a researcher in soft robotics and assistive technologies, with a focus on developing wearable devices for rehabilitation and daily living support. His key contributions center on the design and application of silicone-based actuators for assistive hand devices, addressing the critical need for accessible solutions for individuals with hand disabilities, particularly those resulting from stroke. His most cited work, "Assistive Hand Device Using Silicone Actuators" (2021), introduces a novel device that aids grip and release functions by leveraging soft, flexible materials to mimic natural hand movements. Although early in his career, with 3 citations on this paper, Pak's work represents an important step toward low-cost, comfortable, and effective assistive technologies that can improve quality of life for stroke survivors. His research bridges mechanical engineering, materials science, and clinical rehabilitation, demonstrating a commitment to translating innovative designs into practical, user-centered solutions. As the field of soft robotics continues to expand, Pak's contributions offer a promising foundation for future developments in wearable assistive devices.
