About

Jungmok Seo is a leading innovator at the intersection of wearable electronics, bioinspired robotics, and advanced bioprinting. His research focuses on developing flexible, high-performance sensor systems and soft robotic platforms that bridge the gap between artificial devices and biological tissues. Seo’s most impactful contribution is the creation of highly sensitive multifilament fiber strain sensors, which achieve an ultrabroad sensing range (up to 450% strain) and exceptional durability over 10,000 cycles, as detailed in his highly cited 2018 paper (279 citations). This work has been pivotal for textile-based electronics and wearable health monitors. In parallel, Seo has advanced bioinspired soft robotics by engineering electrically driven microsystems that integrate self-actuating cardiac muscles on hierarchically structured scaffolds, mimicking natural locomotion (192 citations). His recent pioneering work on INSIGHT—an intelligent, computer vision-guided in situ bioprinting system—enables autonomous, multi-material wound care using a robotic arm and depth camera, representing a significant leap in first-aid medical technology. Through these contributions, Seo has established himself as a transformative figure in creating functional, bio-integrated systems for healthcare and soft robotics.
