About
Jihwan Jo is a leading researcher in the field of wearable electronics and energy harvesting, with a particular focus on self-powered sensor systems. His work uniquely bridges materials science and device engineering to create flexible, autonomous technologies. Jo’s most notable contribution is the development of a wearable self-powered pressure sensor, which integrates a piezo-transmittance microporous elastomer with an organic solar cell. This innovative design, published in 2020 and cited 78 times, allows the sensor to generate its own energy from ambient light while simultaneously detecting pressure changes with high sensitivity—a critical step toward truly untethered health monitors and human-machine interfaces. By combining mechanical transduction with photovoltaic power, Jo has addressed a core challenge in wearable tech: the need for continuous, maintenance-free operation. His work has been recognized for its practical impact, offering a scalable pathway for next-generation smart textiles and biomedical patches. Jihwan Jo continues to push the boundaries of flexible electronics, inspiring students and researchers to explore the intersection of energy and sensing.
