About

Sun Sook Lee is a leading materials scientist whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of soft electronics, smart sensors, and advanced composites. Her research focuses on engineering novel functional materials—from ferroelectric polymers to liquid metal composites—to create highly sensitive, stretchable, and printable devices for next-generation applications in wearable tech, soft robotics, and biomedical monitoring. In her most impactful work (137 citations), Lee demonstrated how MXene nanosheets can dramatically enhance β-phase crystallization in ferroelectric porous composites, yielding highly sensitive dynamic force sensors that push the boundaries of tactile detection. She has also pioneered printable, self-activated liquid metal stretchable conductors by functionalizing eutectic gallium indium with polyvinylpyrrolidone (28 citations), offering a scalable route to robust, high-performance circuits for flexible electronics. By combining fundamental insights into polymer crystallization and composite percolation with practical fabrication strategies, Lee’s contributions are enabling a new class of deformable, responsive materials that bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world application.
