About

Seonmin Jang is pioneering the field of soft bioelectronics, with a focus on creating artificial neuromorphic skins that mimic the distributed intelligence of cephalopods like squid and octopus. His major contributions lie in developing fully rubbery electronic components—synaptic transistors, Schottky diodes, and electrochemical devices—that are entirely made from stretchable organic materials. These innovations enable elastic neurological electronic skins capable of sensing, processing, and actuating under significant mechanical deformation, with applications in skin prosthetics, neurorobotics, and human-robotic interaction. His most-cited work, "Artificial neuromorphic cognitive skins based on distributed biaxially stretchable elastomeric synaptic transistors" (2022, 60 citations), demonstrates a groundbreaking approach to decentralized neural processing. Another highly influential paper, "Fully rubbery synaptic transistors made out of all-organic materials for elastic neurological electronic skin" (2021, 51 citations), establishes the foundation for stretchable neuromorphic hardware. Jang’s research has garnered over 137 citations, reflecting its impact on the emerging field of stretchable electronics. His recent work on intrinsically stretchable organic electrochemical synaptic transistors (2025) further advances versatile response modulations, solidifying his reputation as a leader in creating soft, intelligent materials for next-generation wearable and robotic systems.
