About
Yeongjun Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of flexible electronics, neuromorphic engineering, and biomimetic materials. His work has profoundly shaped the field of electronic skin (e-skin) and brain-inspired computing, earning him well over 2,700 citations across his most influential publications. Lee's landmark 2018 paper on tough, water-insensitive self-healing elastomers (1,105 citations) addressed a critical challenge in wearable electronics by engineering materials that combine softness, high fracture energy, and autonomous repair—qualities essential for durable, real-world e-skin applications. Building on this foundation, he has made seminal contributions to neuromorphic electronics, demonstrating organic synaptic transistors and sensorimotor systems that emulate biological neural plasticity for applications in soft robotics, neuroprosthetics, and artificial intelligence. His 2018 work on stretchable optoelectronic sensorimotor synapses (516 citations) exemplifies his ability to bridge hardware and biology in transformative ways. More recently, Lee has explored neuromorphic skin architectures and two-dimensional materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides to advance energy-efficient neural sensing. Early in his career, he also contributed to underwater robotics through sensor fusion and landmark detection. Across all these domains, Lee's research consistently pushes the boundaries of bioinspired, intelligent, and adaptive electronic systems.
