About

Min Sub Kwak is a rising leader in the field of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and bioinspired flexible electronics. His research centers on developing self-powered, high-performance sensory systems that mimic human biological functions. Kwak’s major contributions include pioneering the use of interfacial polarization in bilayer structures to dramatically enhance energy harvesting efficiency—a breakthrough demonstrated in his most-cited work, “Enhancing energy harvesting performance of bilayered parylene triboelectric nanogenerators through interfacial polarization” (25 citations). He further advanced the field by creating a self-powered, highly sensitive, and frequency-tunable triboelectric acoustic sensor inspired by the human cochlea (18 citations), addressing critical limitations of conventional acoustic sensors in human–machine interfaces. Kwak has also developed biodegradable, stretchable TENGs (16 citations) and artificial flexible sensory electronics that replicate the human somatosensory system (11 citations). With a growing citation record and a focus on sustainability and biomimicry, Kwak’s work is paving the way for next-generation wearable electronics, implantable devices, and eco-friendly energy solutions.
