About

Wonjeong Suh is a leading researcher in the field of deformable physical sensors, with a particular focus on the emerging domain of iontronic sensing. Her work bridges the gap between electronic and ionic approaches to create next-generation tactile interfaces for robotics, haptics, and wearable healthcare. Suh’s most cited paper, "Approaches to deformable physical sensors: Electronic versus iontronic" (2021, 57 citations), provides a comprehensive framework that has become essential reading for researchers developing stretchable sensor technologies. In her highly innovative 2023 study (14 citations), Suh achieved a breakthrough in artificial tactile sensing by successfully decoupling shear force and pressure perception. By analyzing frequency-dependent ionic behavior, she developed a sensor capable of independently detecting shear directions—a critical challenge for enabling robots to manipulate both soft and brittle objects with precision. This work represents a significant step toward emulating the human sense of touch in artificial systems. Suh’s contributions are shaping the future of deformable sensors, with her research directly impacting the development of electronic skin and advanced haptic devices.
