About

J. Justin Koh is a rising leader in advanced manufacturing and soft robotics, with a focus on 4D printing and functional materials. His research centers on developing programmable, stimuli-responsive composites that can change shape or function over time, enabling next-generation applications in flexible electronics, bioelectronics, and soft robotics. Koh’s most cited work, “Direct ink writing of programmable functional silicone‐based composites for 4D printing applications” (2022, 54 citations), pioneered the use of PDMS-based inks for additive manufacturing, overcoming traditional casting limitations to create complex, adaptive structures. He further advanced the field with “Self-Healing Approach toward Catalytic Soft Robots” (2022, 15 citations), introducing hydrogel-based systems that combine biocompatibility with autonomous repair—a key step toward durable, lifelike robots. By integrating self-healing capabilities with catalytic functionality, Koh’s work bridges materials science and robotics, offering scalable solutions for sustainable, resilient devices. His contributions are shaping the future of smart materials and soft robotics, with growing impact in both academic and applied research.
