About
In Hwan Lee is a leading researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, additive manufacturing, and flexible sensor systems. His work centers on developing novel fabrication processes—such as heated syringe extrusion and direct ink writing—to create soft grippers and tactile sensors with enhanced performance and manufacturability. Lee’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of using Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) for pneumatically driven soft grippers via heated extrusion, a departure from traditional molding techniques that limit design flexibility. He has also advanced flexible strain and tactile sensors using nanocomposite materials like multi-walled carbon nanotubes and PDMS, with a focus on improving resistance stability and fabrication precision. His most-cited paper (2019, 10 citations) investigates dispensing parameters for nanocomposite-based tactile sensors, while his 2023 work on flexible strain sensors (8 citations) further underscores his impact. Lee’s research has been recognized for enabling multi-material additive manufacturing, as seen in his 2025 study on sensor-embedded soft grippers. His earlier work in wireless robotic sensor networks (2011, 5 citations) also highlights his versatility. With a growing citation record and a clear trajectory toward practical, scalable soft robotic systems, Lee is shaping the future of human-robot interaction and flexible electronics.
