About

Dr. Jung Inn Sohn is a leading researcher in the field of bio-inspired electronic skin and tactile sensing systems, with a particular focus on developing artificial sensory platforms that mimic human physiological and psychological touch. His major contributions include the design of novel tactile sensor structures capable of detecting surface topography through sliding motion—a critical advancement for robotic manipulation and haptic interfaces. He has also pioneered the integration of wireless thin film transistors with micro magnetic induction coupling antennas, enabling compact, energy-autonomous sensor nodes for next-generation flexible electronics. In a particularly innovative line of work, Dr. Sohn has explored the concept of "psychological" tactile sensing, using piezoelectric sensor arrays to emulate human pain perception, thereby adding a new dimension to artificial somatosensory systems. With his most cited work accumulating over 35 citations, his research bridges materials science, device physics, and neuroscience-inspired engineering. Dr. Sohn’s contributions are foundational for the development of intelligent prosthetics, humanoid robots, and advanced human-machine interfaces that require nuanced, multi-modal touch perception.
