About

Yongrok Jeong is a leading researcher in the development of soft, intelligent systems for wearable technology, electronic skin, and soft robotics. His work focuses on creating high-performance, flexible sensors and actuators by integrating advanced materials such as porous elastomers, carbon nanotubes, and liquid metals. Jeong’s most impactful contribution is his 2019 paper on capacitive pressure sensors, which has garnered 191 citations for its innovative approach to achieving high sensitivity and low hysteresis through a synergetic effect of porous elastomers and carbon nanotube percolation. He has also authored influential reviews on electrically driven polymer-based flexible actuators (87 citations) and sensor-integrated medical tools (77 citations), highlighting his role in shaping these fields. Notably, his development of an all-soft multiaxial force sensor based on liquid metal microchannels (43 citations) represents a significant advance in electronic skin technology. Jeong’s recent work on thermoforming 2D films into 3D electronics for customizable tactile sensing (2025) and field-programmable robotic folding sheets (2025) demonstrates his ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of soft, shape-morphing systems. With a total of over 500 citations across his top papers, Jeong’s research is driving the future of soft, intelligent interfaces for healthcare, human-robot interaction, and beyond.
