About

Jung-Yong Lee is a pioneering force at the intersection of wearable electronics, energy harvesting, and bio-inspired vision systems. His research primarily focuses on developing self-powered, intelligent devices that integrate organic photovoltaics with advanced sensor architectures. Lee’s major contributions include the creation of a wearable self-powered pressure sensor that combines a piezo-transmittance microporous elastomer with an organic solar cell (78 citations), a breakthrough enabling continuous, battery-free health monitoring. More recently, his work on perovskite retinomorphic image sensors (55 citations) has redefined embodied intelligent vision. By mimicking the human retina, these sensors allow exoskeleton robots to see, recognize, and respond to real-time environmental cues, dramatically enhancing assistance for physically disabled individuals. Lee’s innovations address the critical challenge of achieving ultrasensitive, reconfigurable, and large-scale integration in soft robotics. His research not only pushes the boundaries of flexible electronics but also directly translates into life-changing assistive technologies, making him a leading figure in the convergence of materials science, robotics, and human-centered engineering.
