About

H. B. Lee is a pioneering researcher in stimuli-responsive soft robotics and smart biomaterials, with a focus on biodegradable hydrogel systems for biomedical and environmental applications. Their most cited work introduces a groundbreaking pH-responsive soft gripper, fabricated through an innovative dual 3D/4D bio-printing strategy. By combining pH-responsive alginate/gelatin/acrylic acid with non-pH-responsive acrylamide in a bilayer design, Lee achieved untethered, programmable actuation—the gripper swells at high pH and shrinks at low pH, enabling precise, autonomous grasping. This 2025 paper has already garnered 7 citations, signaling its rapid impact in the field. Lee’s major contributions lie in merging rheological analysis with advanced fabrication to create biodegradable, stimuli-responsive devices that eliminate the need for external power sources. Their work advances sustainable soft robotics, offering potential in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and environmental sensing. With a focus on eco-friendly materials and intelligent actuation, H. B. Lee is shaping the future of adaptive, bio-inspired technologies.
