Background

About Yeonwook Roh

I am a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering under the mentorship of Dr. Seungyong Han, Dr. Daeshik Kang, and Dr. Je-sung Koh. I am expected to graduate in August 2023. I am currently seeking a post doctorate position in a soft robotics and flexible electronics research laboratory. My research focus on the design and fabrication of soft robotics and electronics using materials and structure of variable stiffness. I am interested in 1) ultra-small soft grippers with biomedical applications, 2) electronics of variable stiffness without compromise between high stiffness and shape change, 3) sensors with high durability to tolerate harsh deformation, 4) mesh-typed brain probes for broad mapping of the brain. I published 6 papers in SCI-indexed journals, including Science Robotics, Advanced Functional Materials, and Advanced Materials Technologies.
