About
Woon-Hong Yeo is a pioneering bioelectronics engineer whose research sits at the intersection of wearable technology, human-machine interfaces, and soft robotics. Best known for his development of ultrathin, skin-conforming electronic platforms, Yeo has fundamentally advanced how biosignals are captured, processed, and translated into actionable control systems. His 2015 paper on epidermal stimulation and sensing—integrating electromyography, electrotactile feedback, and strain sensing into a single conformal device—has garnered nearly 300 citations and remains a landmark contribution to sensorimotor prosthetic design. His work on screen-printed stretchable electronics (187 citations) addressed critical manufacturing bottlenecks, making high-performance wearables more accessible and scalable. Yeo has also championed deep learning integration within soft bioelectronics, enabling smarter human-machine interfaces through wireless, printed systems. His research extends into exoskeleton control via microneedle electrodes, soft robotic fish, and biomimetic earthworm robots with closed-loop sensory feedback—demonstrating remarkable breadth. More recently, he has tackled energy harvesting to liberate wearables from battery dependence. With over 1,000 cumulative citations across his most impactful works, Yeo's contributions are reshaping rehabilitation, prosthetics, and next-generation human-centered robotics.
