About
Taek-Soo Kim is a leading innovator in soft electronics and wearable sensor technology, with a focus on developing highly sensitive, flexible, and biocompatible devices for healthcare and robotics. His most impactful contribution is the creation of a wearable pressure sensor leveraging a giant piezocapacitive effect in a three-dimensional microporous elastomeric dielectric layer, which achieved exceptional sensitivity over a broad pressure range—a work that has garnered nearly 500 citations and set a benchmark in the field. Kim’s research extends to multifunctional implantable sensors, such as an ultra-soft, tissue-adhesive hydrogel-based device for monitoring overactive bladder, demonstrating his commitment to translating soft materials into clinical solutions. He has also pioneered bioinspired artificial skin that enhances hand manipulation by mimicking human palm mechanics, and developed mechanically decoupled taxel arrays for on-skin and tele-haptic applications. His work on highly mobile, levitating soft actuators and stretchable modular electronics further underscores his versatility. With over 670 total citations and a growing portfolio of high-impact publications, Kim is shaping the future of soft robotics and wearable health monitors.
