Welcome to Smart Multi-Functional Device Lab @ Korea University

Our research interest focuses in exploring smart and multi-functional materials and their application into functional devices. Our research investigates the coupling phenomena between mechanical and electrical properties of novel materials. Using these materials, we intend to develop new fabrication methods and devices for soft actuators, artificial muscles, sensors, energy generation, environmental monitoring, etc.

Current research is going on in the field of:

▪ Actuators with multifunctional capabilities
▪ Polymer and Hydrogel-based Soft Actuators and Sensors
▪ Biomimetic Materials and Sensor Devices
▪ Nanoscale Energy Conversion
▪ Sensor Signal Processing using Machine Learning, Artificial Neural Network
▪ Molecular Dynamics, Multi-scale Modeling of Materials
