About

Minjae Choe is a leading researcher in the field of soft electronics, specializing in the development of stretchable and wearable devices using liquid metals. His work focuses on creating highly deformable materials that maintain electrical functionality under extreme mechanical strain, with key contributions to magnetic liquid metal (MLM) composites, stretchable heaters, and strain sensors. In his highly cited 2021 paper (33 citations), Choe introduced an ultrastretchable electrical switch fiber with a magnetic liquid metal core, enabling remote magnetic actuation by removing the oxide layer on liquid metal and mixing it with magnetic iron particles. His 2023 work on stretchable polymeric heaters and strain sensors (25 citations) and his 2022 study on ultrasoft, ultrastretchable strain sensors with anisotropic conductivity (17 citations) further demonstrate his impact, collectively garnering over 75 citations. Choe’s innovations in liquid metal-filled elastomers have paved the way for next-generation wearable electronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, offering unprecedented combinations of stretchability, sensitivity, and functionality. His research continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in flexible and stretchable electronic systems.
