Mikyung Shin

About

Mikyung Shin is pioneering the next generation of soft, bio-integrated electronics for human–machine interfaces and closed-loop rehabilitation. Her research centers on injectable and stretchable tissue prostheses, granular adhesives, and conductive hydrogels that seamlessly merge with the body to enable real-time, interactive therapy. Shin’s landmark 2023 paper, “Injectable tissue prosthesis for instantaneous closed-loop rehabilitation,” has already garnered 170 citations, highlighting its transformative potential for cognitive behavioral therapy and physical recovery in patients with brain disorders. She has also advanced strain-tolerant polymeric adhesives that maintain robust adhesion under harsh mechanical deformation—critical for long-lasting, underwater human–machine interfaces—and developed wearable liquid metal composites with skin-adhesive chitosan hydrogels for stable electromyogram signal monitoring. Her 2025 work on injectable conductive hydrogels for robot-assisted rehabilitation further underscores her commitment to bridging materials science and clinical neurology. Through these innovations, Shin is redefining how soft, adaptive electronics can restore function and enhance human capability.
