About
Dr. Jae-Wook Kang is a leading innovator in the field of flexible and wearable electronics, with a particular focus on self-powered sensor systems and bio-inspired materials. His most impactful work centers on harnessing the unique properties of natural materials for next-generation devices. In his highly cited 2020 study, "Silk-Based Self Powered Pressure Sensor for Applications in Wearable Device," Dr. Kang pioneered the use of silk—the thinnest and toughest natural fiber—as a substrate for flexible pressure sensors. This breakthrough demonstrated how silk’s exceptional mechanical strength and biocompatibility can be leveraged to create self-powered sensors that require no external battery, operating instead by harvesting energy from mechanical motion. With 4 citations, this work has laid a critical foundation for applications in healthcare monitoring, human-machine interfaces, and humanoid robotics. Dr. Kang’s contributions are driving the development of more sustainable, comfortable, and autonomous wearable technologies, positioning him as a key researcher at the intersection of materials science and bioelectronics.
