About
Yechan Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, wearable technology, and neurorehabilitation, with a particular focus on restoring hand function in stroke survivors. His work centers on designing bioinspired soft robotic gloves that replicate the remarkable dexterity of the human hand, combining high degrees of freedom with comfortable, practical wearability. Lee's most influential contribution, "Bioinspired High-Degrees of Freedom Soft Robotic Glove for Restoring Versatile and Comfortable Manipulation" (2021, 71 citations), established his reputation as a leader in the field by demonstrating how nature-inspired engineering can yield sophisticated assistive devices. Building on this foundation, he has advanced rehabilitation systems that integrate multimodal biosignal detection — including EEG-EMG hybrid classification — to decode patient movement intentions in real time, enabling more responsive and personalized therapy. His research portfolio also extends to cooperative telerobotic therapy, workspace-optimized glove design, and groundbreaking fMRI-based assessments of how robotic rehabilitation influences neuroplasticity in chronic stroke patients. With over 126 total citations across six key papers, Lee's work bridges biomechanics, human-computer interaction, and clinical neuroscience, offering meaningful hope for the millions of stroke survivors striving to reclaim independence in daily life.
