About

Won Bae Han is pioneering the frontier of soft, transient electronics—a field that merges stretchable materials with biodegradable properties for next-generation biomedical devices. His most impactful work, the "Ultra-stretchable and biodegradable elastomers for soft, transient electronics" (139 citations), introduces rubber-like materials that can decompose safely in the body, enabling wearable and implantable devices that vanish after use. This breakthrough addresses a critical need for reducing electronic waste and surgical removal risks. Han further advances this concept with a "Synthesis of shape-programmable elastomer for a bioresorbable, wireless nerve stimulator" (24 citations), demonstrating how programmable materials can deliver targeted therapy without secondary surgeries. His bioinspired creativity shines in "Electric Eel‐Inspired Soft Electrocytes for Solid‐State Power Systems" (18 citations), where he mimics natural electric organs to create flexible, solid-state batteries. Most recently, his "Wireless, Multifunctional System-Integrated Programmable Soft Robot" (14 citations) integrates sensing, power, and actuation into a single, reconfigurable platform. With over 195 citations across these works, Han is shaping a future where electronics are not only soft and stretchable but also environmentally and biologically harmonious—a vision that promises transformative impacts in healthcare, robotics, and sustainable technology.
