About

Daeik Jang is a researcher at the forefront of smart materials and structural health monitoring, whose work bridges flexible electronics and autonomous robotics. His primary research areas include conductive polymeric composites, piezoresistive sensing, and robotic inspection systems. Jang’s major contributions center on developing highly stretchable, multi-functional sensors by embedding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbonyl iron powder into polymer matrices, achieving remarkable flexibility and sensitivity for human motion and robotic monitoring. His 2021 paper on this topic has garnered 55 citations, underscoring its impact on wearable and soft robotics fields. Building on this, his 2022 study on ultra-stretchable CNT-embedded sensors demonstrated exceptional electrical stability under high strain, earning 24 citations and advancing the reliability of flexible electronics. Most recently, Jang has pioneered autonomous concrete crack monitoring using a mobile robot equipped with a 2-DoF manipulator and stereo vision sensors—a novel integration of robotics and civil infrastructure assessment. This work, already cited twice since 2025, exemplifies his ability to translate materials science into practical, automated solutions for structural integrity. Jang’s interdisciplinary approach continues to shape next-generation sensing and inspection technologies.
