About
Jung Bok Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics and smart biomaterials, whose work centers on developing stimuli-responsive, biodegradable systems for advanced manufacturing. His major contributions lie in the design and fabrication of programmable hydrogel-based actuators, particularly through the innovative use of dual 3D/4D bio-printing strategies. In his most-cited work, Lee engineered a biodegradable soft gripper composed of a pH-responsive alginate/gelatin/acrylic acid layer paired with a non-pH-responsive acrylamide bilayer. This device exhibits reversible swelling at high pH and shrinking at low pH, enabling untethered, programmed actuation without external power sources—a breakthrough for eco-friendly robotics. By integrating rheological analysis into the printing process, he achieved precise control over the hybrid material’s behavior. With 7 citations since 2025, this work is gaining traction for its potential in biomedical devices and sustainable automation. Lee’s research exemplifies how smart materials and additive manufacturing can converge to create functional, environmentally conscious soft robots.
