About
Joonwon Kim is a leading researcher in the field of flexible and stretchable electronics, with a particular focus on advanced touch sensors and self-powered systems. His work addresses critical challenges in wearable technology, soft robotics, and human-machine interfaces by developing innovative solutions for electromagnetic interference shielding and bending insensitivity. Kim’s most impactful contribution is the creation of a double-sided electromagnetic interference-shielded, bending-insensitive capacitive-type touch sensor, which maintains linear response over a wide detection range—a paper that has garnered 49 citations since 2021. He further advanced the field by introducing a self-powered pressure sensor capable of detecting both static and dynamic stimuli through electrochemical reactions (33 citations), and by demonstrating how microstructured dielectric layers enhance sensor performance under bending conditions (26 citations). Most recently, Kim has pioneered a simple and effective patterning method for liquid-metal-infused sponge electrodes, enabling the fabrication of 3D stretchable electronics. With a growing citation record and a portfolio of work that bridges fundamental materials science and practical device engineering, Kim is recognized for pushing the boundaries of sensor robustness and flexibility, making him a key figure in next-generation wearable and robotic technologies.
