About

Ho-Sup Jung is a materials scientist and engineer whose research sits at the cutting edge of bioinspired adhesion technology and smart mechanical structures. Best known for his pioneering work on gecko-inspired dry adhesives, Jung has made significant contributions to the development of micro- and nanofabricated hierarchical structures that mimic the remarkable adhesive properties found in nature. His 2011 Feature Article, "Towards the Next Level of Bioinspired Dry Adhesives: New Designs and Applications," has garnered 185 citations and remains a landmark reference in the field, detailing innovative fabrication strategies for robust, multiscale adhesive systems with real-world applicability. More recently, Jung has expanded his focus to encompass smart mechanical structures, exploring how advanced architectural designs — including kirigami patterns, tessellations, and other engineered geometries — can unlock transformative adhesive technologies for wearable healthcare devices, bioengineering, and soft robotics. His continued output, reflected in his 2025 review on smart adhesive design, demonstrates a sustained commitment to pushing boundaries in functional materials. Jung's body of work bridges fundamental materials science and applied engineering, making him an influential voice for researchers and students working at the intersection of biomimetics, nanotechnology, and smart systems.
