About

Youngsik Lee is pioneering the development of stretchable optoelectronics for next-generation wearable devices and robotic systems. His research focuses on intrinsically stretchable materials and color conversion technologies that enable full-color displays to conform to soft, dynamic surfaces. In his highly cited 2025 work, Lee introduced intrinsically-stretchable and patternable quantum dot color conversion layers, a breakthrough that allows vibrant, full-color output in displays designed for robotic skin and wearable electronics. With 17 citations already, this work is rapidly gaining recognition for addressing a critical bottleneck in stretchable display manufacturing: achieving high-resolution patterning without sacrificing mechanical flexibility. Lee’s contributions are foundational to creating displays that can stretch, bend, and wrap around complex shapes while maintaining optical performance. His innovations are poised to impact human-machine interfaces, health-monitoring wearables, and soft robotics, where visual feedback must be both durable and conformable. By merging quantum dot photophysics with stretchable device engineering, Youngsik Lee is shaping the future of interactive, skin-like electronics.
