About

Kyu-Tae Lee is a leading researcher in wearable electronics and soft robotics, with a focus on skin-interfaced devices that bridge human physiology and machine interaction. His work centers on developing stretchable, wireless sensors and protective structures for next-generation human-machine interfaces (HMIs). Lee’s major contributions include the creation of a wireless, skin-mountable electromyography (EMG) sensor, which enables real-time, untethered muscle signal monitoring for intuitive HMI applications—a paper that has garnered 41 citations for its impact on wearable technology. He also pioneered an artificial stretchable armor design for skin-interfaced devices and soft robotics, addressing critical durability and safety challenges in flexible electronics (20 citations). By combining materials innovation with system-level integration, Lee’s research advances practical wearable systems that are both functional and resilient. His notable achievements include demonstrating how customized, stretchable architectures can transform data collection and analysis in HMIs, paving the way for more natural and robust interactions between humans and machines. Lee’s work is essential reading for students and researchers exploring the frontiers of wearable sensing and soft robotic interfaces.
