About
Seokhwan Jeong is a robotics researcher whose work spans surgical robotics, assistive and rehabilitation technologies, and biomedical automation. His research has made significant contributions across two primary domains: minimally invasive surgical tools and wearable robotic systems for individuals with motor impairments. In the realm of surgical robotics, Jeong has pioneered the development of meso-scale continuum robotic tools for pediatric neurosurgery and steerable guidewire systems for endovascular interventions. His 2020 work on the COAST guidewire robot, a remarkably compact 0.40 mm diameter device, and his FBG-based shape sensing research for micro- and meso-scale continuum robots have collectively garnered nearly 200 citations, reflecting their substantial influence on the field. Equally impactful is Jeong's contributions to assistive robotics, particularly his FLEXotendon Glove series — voice-controlled soft robotic hand exoskeletons designed to restore hand function in spinal cord injury patients. These systems, which have accumulated over 120 citations combined, represent meaningful advances in patient autonomy and quality of life. More recently, his work on prosthetic hands and laboratory automation robots demonstrates a broadening research vision. Across all areas, Jeong's scholarship consistently bridges elegant engineering design with real-world clinical and humanitarian impact.
