About
June Dong Park is a pioneering researcher in smart biomaterials and 4D bioprinting, with a focus on stimuli-responsive hydrogels for soft robotics and biomedical applications. Her most cited work, a 2025 study on a biodegradable soft gripper, introduces a novel pH-responsive hydrogel composed of alginate, gelatin, and acrylic acid, which swells in alkaline conditions and shrinks in acidic environments. By combining this with a non-pH-responsive acrylamide layer, Park achieved precise, untethered actuation through a dual 3D/4D bioprinting strategy informed by rheological analysis. This breakthrough demonstrates how programmable material behavior can replace traditional electronic controls, offering sustainable, biodegradable alternatives for soft robotics. With 7 citations already, her work is gaining traction for its potential in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and environmental sensing. Park’s contributions highlight her expertise in integrating material science with advanced manufacturing, positioning her as a rising leader in the field of intelligent, responsive systems.
