About

Insang You is a leading researcher in stretchable and bioinspired electronics, with a focus on developing soft, skin-like sensors and transistors for wearable technology and soft robotics. His work bridges materials science and neural-inspired design, creating devices that mimic the mechanical and sensory properties of human skin. You’s major contributions include pioneering material approaches for stretchable strain sensors (217 citations), which enable high flexibility and durability under large deformations. He also introduced a bioinspired stretchable membrane-based compliance sensor (146 citations), allowing compact devices to measure material softness—a capability previously limited to bulky instruments. His research on high-transconductance stretchable transistors (112 citations) achieved record signal amplification through controlled gold microcrack morphology, advancing sensitive, conformable electronics. Notably, You’s work on dynamic tactility (69 citations) replicates the skin’s spike-encoded touch perception, while his self-healing electronic skin (56 citations) combines high fracture strength with autonomous repair. These innovations have positioned You at the forefront of electronic skin and human-machine interfaces, with his papers collectively cited over 600 times, reflecting their profound impact on flexible electronics and neural-inspired sensing.
