About
Kyungnam Kang is a leading researcher in the fields of wearable electronics, energy harvesting, and self-powered sensor systems. His most impactful work centers on the integration of flexible, microporous elastomers with organic solar cells to create innovative, self-powered pressure sensors. In his highly cited 2020 paper, Kang introduced a novel "piezo-transmittance" mechanism, demonstrating how mechanical deformation can modulate light transmission to generate electrical signals without an external power source. This breakthrough, which has garnered 78 citations, addresses a critical challenge in wearable technology: achieving continuous, autonomous operation. By combining energy harvesting with sensing in a single, stretchable platform, Kang’s contributions pave the way for next-generation health monitors, electronic skin, and human-machine interfaces. His work is distinguished by its elegant material design and practical approach to device integration, making him a key figure in advancing sustainable, body-worn electronics.
