Yoonsoo Shin

Yoonsoo Shin received his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Seoul National University, South Korea. During his Ph.D., he focused on the development of advanced materials and methods for flexible and stretchable bioelectronics. He utilized stress engineering to enable the dry transfer printing of thin films, which were then used to fabricate various flexible sensors and thin-film batteries. In the area of soft materials, he explored the synthesis of conductive hydrogels incorporating diverse nanomaterials and developed methodologies for their patterning and integration with diverse inorganic and organic materials. These hybrid systems were applied to wearable and implantable bioelectronic devices for biosignal acquisition and delivering electrical stimulation on the skin and tissue.

His research interests lie in the development of soft material–based biomedical devices that can be safely and reliably used in long-term, clinically relevant wearable and implantable applications.
