About

Jaewan Mun is a materials scientist and engineer whose research sits at the forefront of flexible and wearable electronics, with a particular focus on electronic skin (e-skin), self-healing materials, and stretchable electronic systems. His highly cited 2019 review on electronic skin (1,616 citations) stands as a landmark reference in the field, comprehensively mapping the technological landscape of skin-attachable devices for health monitoring, robotics, and prosthetics. Complementing this, his 2018 work on tough, water-insensitive self-healing elastomers (1,105 citations) addressed a critical engineering challenge — developing materials that are simultaneously soft, durable, and capable of autonomous repair, essential properties for real-world e-skin deployment. His 2019 study on ultrastretchable nanocomposite conductors introduced the innovative concept of "electrical self-boosting," enabling materials to achieve high stretchability, conductivity, and self-healability simultaneously. Mun has also advanced the concept of modular and reconfigurable stretchable electronics, expanding design possibilities for next-generation wearable systems. With over 2,900 cumulative citations across his key works, Mun's contributions have meaningfully shaped how researchers approach the development of robust, biomimetic electronic materials.
