About

Dr. Jae Sang Heo is a leading innovator in stretchable and textile-based electronics, with a research focus on wearable healthcare sensors, soft robotics, and electronic skin (e-skin). His major contributions lie in engineering flexible sensor architectures that bridge the gap between rigid electronics and the dynamic human body. Notably, his 2019 work on a textile-based stretchable glove sensor—cited 45 times—pioneered the use of fabric substrates for monitoring upper extremity prosthesis functions, overcoming critical limitations in forming electrical materials directly on fabric while maintaining compatibility with human skin. More recently, Dr. Heo advanced the field by developing micro-patterned piezoresistive device architectures that enable locally controlled sensing properties in stretchable pressure sensors, allowing precise detection of physiological signals and human activity. This work, published in 2020, demonstrates his commitment to creating high-performance, durable sensors for real-world wearable applications. By integrating high electrical and mechanical properties into soft, conformable materials, Dr. Heo’s research is paving the way for next-generation health monitoring systems and intelligent prosthetics, making him a key figure in the future of human-machine interaction.
