About

Hyungkeun Jeong is a leading researcher at the intersection of flexible bioelectronics, wearable robotics, and human physiology. His work focuses on developing soft, skin-integrated electronic systems that seamlessly interface with assistive devices to quantify human performance in real time. In a landmark 2023 study, Jeong introduced a soft wearable bioelectronic platform integrated directly with an ankle-foot exoskeleton, enabling continuous estimation of metabolic costs and physical effort without bulky indirect calorimetry equipment. This innovation, which has already garnered 40 citations, represents a critical step toward personalized, closed-loop control of robotic exoskeletons by replacing cumbersome breath-based measurements with lightweight, conformable sensors. By merging flexible electronics with biomechanical assistance, Jeong’s research bridges the gap between physiological sensing and robotic actuation, offering a scalable pathway for optimizing rehabilitation and augmenting human locomotion. His contributions are shaping the next generation of intelligent wearables that adapt to an individual’s effort in real time, making him a rising figure in the fields of soft robotics and human–machine integration.
