About
Kiwoo Jun is a leading researcher in the field of soft robotics and smart materials, with a primary focus on developing high-performance artificial muscles and multi-functional soft actuators. His work bridges fundamental polymer science and applied device engineering, targeting next-generation applications in wearable electronics, haptic feedback systems, and bioinspired robotics. Jun’s major contributions include the design of electroactive ionic soft actuators based on functionally antagonistic core–shell polymer electrolytes, exemplified by his highly cited work on PS-<i>b</i>-PSS block copolymers (51 citations). This innovation addresses critical challenges in actuator performance and durability. Additionally, he has pioneered surface modification techniques for anisotropic dielectric elastomer actuators, creating uni- and bi-axially wrinkled carbon electrodes to enable wettability control (38 citations). His research is notable for integrating multiple functionalities—such as shape morphing and surface property tuning—into single actuator platforms. With a growing citation impact, Jun’s work is shaping the future of soft, adaptive systems for biomedical devices and flexible electronics.
