About

Hyoyoung Lee is a leading researcher in stretchable and flexible optoelectronics, with a focus on next-generation wearable and robotic technologies. His work centers on developing novel nanomaterials and device architectures that enable high-performance, deformable electronics. A major contribution is his pioneering use of silver nanowires and graphene to create flexible and stretchable optoelectronic devices, as detailed in his highly cited 2016 paper (157 citations), which has become a foundational reference for the field. This work addresses the critical need for durable, high-conductivity materials in human-interface devices, robotic skin, and biometric sensors. Lee has also advanced modular electronics with his dual-functional, self-attachable, and stretchable interface (2022), enabling universal three-dimensional assembly without bulky connectors. Earlier, he contributed to robotic software engineering by developing a component framework for robotic services (2009), promoting reusable, interface-accessible modules to reduce development time and cost. With over 175 total citations, Lee’s interdisciplinary research bridges materials science, device engineering, and robotics, driving innovation toward truly integrated, wearable, and self-assembling electronic systems.
