About

So Jeong Choi is a pioneering researcher in bioresorbable electronics and soft robotics, with a focus on creating programmable, wireless systems that bridge the gap between biomedical devices and flexible machines. Her most cited work, “Synthesis of shape-programmable elastomer for a bioresorbable, wireless nerve stimulator” (2024, 24 citations), introduces a novel material that can be precisely shaped and then safely absorbed by the body, enabling temporary nerve stimulation without secondary surgery—a breakthrough for post-surgical recovery and chronic pain management. Building on this, her 2025 paper on a “Wireless, Multifunctional System-Integrated Programmable Soft Robot” (14 citations) addresses a critical limitation in soft robotics: the lack of integrated, reconfigurable functionality beyond simple motion. By developing a transformable platform that combines wireless control, sensing, and actuation, Choi’s work enables robots that can adapt their shape and function in real time, opening new possibilities for minimally invasive surgery and adaptive prosthetics. With a rapidly growing citation record, Choi is recognized for advancing both the materials science and system-level integration needed to make bioresorbable and soft robots clinically viable. Her achievements highlight a unique ability to merge chemistry, electronics, and mechanical design, positioning her as a rising leader in next-generation biomedical and robotic technologies.
