About
Seung Hee Jeong is a leading figure in soft robotics and stretchable electronics, pioneering materials and architectures that blur the line between machine and organism. Her research centers on developing mechanically compliant sensors, actuators, and variable-stiffness structures, with a focus on creating devices that are not only soft but also robust and manufacturable. A major contribution is her work on ultrastretchable strain sensors, where she systematically compared capacitive and resistive designs using carbon black-filled elastomers—a study that has garnered over 320 citations and become a foundational reference in the field. She has also advanced thermal management in stretchable systems by embedding liquid alloy droplets into elastomers, creating electrically insulating yet thermally conductive composites (152 citations). Her innovation extends to actuation with OmniFiber, an integrated fluidic fiber actuator that weaves movement directly into fabric, enabling interactive textiles (111 citations). Further notable achievements include developing phase-changing materials for variable-stiffness tensegrity robots and bio-inspired untethered soft swimmers. With a portfolio of highly cited works, Jeong is shaping the future of soft, wearable, and adaptive robotic systems.
