About
Hayeong Jang is a materials scientist whose research lies at the intersection of flexible electronics, bioinspired sensor design, and wearable technology. Her most cited work, the 2018 paper on “Crisscross-designed piezoresistive strain sensors with a cracked microtectonic architecture for direction-selective tensile perception,” has garnered 20 citations and represents a significant contribution to the development of electronic skin (e-skin). In this study, Jang introduced an innovative sensor architecture that mimics natural microcrack patterns to achieve highly sensitive, direction-aware strain detection—a critical capability for applications in human healthcare monitoring, robotic skins, and environmental risk detection. By engineering a crisscross design that enables selective perception of tensile forces, her work addresses a key limitation in conventional strain sensors, which often lack directional sensitivity. This breakthrough has implications for next-generation prosthetics and soft robotics, where precise tactile feedback is essential. Jang’s research continues to push the boundaries of flexible sensor technology, demonstrating how bioinspired microstructures can unlock new functionalities in wearable and implantable devices.
