About
Soonho Jung is a leading researcher in the field of active soft materials, with a primary focus on liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) and their advanced manufacturing. His major contribution lies in pioneering mechanically programmed, two-step photocrosslinking techniques that enable precise control over molecular orientation in LCEs. This innovation allows for the creation of both 2D and 3D structures at macro- and microscales, unlocking unprecedented reversible shape transformations in solid-state materials. His most cited work, “Mechanically programmed 2D and 3D liquid crystal elastomers at macro- and microscale via two-step photocrosslinking” (2020, 38 citations), has become a foundational reference in the field, demonstrating how mechanical programming can direct complex shape changes. Jung’s research bridges materials science, mechanics, and microfabrication, offering powerful design strategies for soft robotics, adaptive optics, and biomedical devices. His work is particularly notable for achieving scalable, programmable actuation in LCEs, making him a key innovator in the development of next-generation active materials.
