About

Woojin Jung is pioneering the development of soft, deformable energy sources and sensors for next-generation wearable electronics, implantables, and soft robotics. His research centers on harnessing electrical-double-layer phenomena and liquid metal elastomers to create flexible devices that can harvest energy and sense touch. Jung’s most cited work, “A Soft Variable‐Area Electrical‐Double‐Layer Energy Harvester” (2021), with 65 citations, introduces a novel approach to converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, enabling self-powered, tetherless soft devices. His second highly cited paper, “Skin‐Inspired Capacitive Stress Sensor with Large Dynamic Range via Bilayer Liquid Metal Elastomers” (2021, 44 citations), presents a capacitive stress sensor that mimics human skin, offering exceptional sensitivity and a wide dynamic range for applications in prosthetics and electronic skins. By integrating liquid metal electrodes with soft dielectrics, Jung achieves unprecedented deformability and performance. His work directly addresses the critical need for sustainable, deformable power sources and tactile sensors, positioning him as a key contributor to the future of soft, intelligent systems that interact seamlessly with the human body and environment.
