About
Daegun Kim is a leading researcher in the field of bio-inspired electronics and soft robotics, with a primary focus on developing advanced electronic skin (E-skin) and wearable sensor technologies. His most significant contributions include the creation of a fingerpad-inspired multimodal E-skin that enables material discrimination and texture recognition, a breakthrough that mimics human tactile perception for next-generation prosthetics and robotics. This highly cited work (150 citations) showcases his ability to bridge biological sensing with artificial systems. Kim also developed a mechanically robust and linearly sensitive soft piezoresistive pressure sensor, designed specifically for wearable human–robot interaction systems and IoT applications. This sensor, which has already garnered 144 citations, addresses critical challenges in durability and sensitivity for real-world deployment in metaverse ecosystems and assistive devices. Additionally, his work on tailored uniaxial alignment of nanowires using off-center spin-coating has advanced the fabrication of flexible and transparent field-effect transistors. With a growing citation impact and a focus on translating fundamental materials science into practical, interactive technologies, Kim is establishing himself as a key innovator in the convergence of soft electronics, haptics, and human-machine interfaces.
