About

Seung Nam is a pioneering researcher in the field of flexible and bio-inspired electronics, with a core focus on tactile sensing and wireless micro-devices. His work bridges the gap between human sensory perception and artificial systems, most notably through his highly cited 2018 paper on an “Artificial Tactile Sensor Structure for Surface Topography Through Sliding” (35 citations). This research advances the development of electronic skin capable of detecting surface roughness and texture, mimicking the human sense of touch for applications in robotics and prosthetics. Nam’s contributions extend to wireless power and communication, as demonstrated in his 2015 work on a “Wireless thin film transistor based on micro magnetic induction coupling antenna” (19 citations). Here, he introduced a novel TFT architecture integrated with a micro-antenna, enabling devices to act as switches, rectifiers, or amplifiers without physical wiring—a critical step toward fully untethered flexible electronics. His work is foundational for next-generation wearable sensors and smart textiles, earning him recognition for merging micro-fabrication techniques with practical, scalable designs. Nam’s research continues to inspire innovations in human-machine interfaces and autonomous sensing systems.
