Graduate research, undergraduate research & postdoctoral opportunities in soft bioelectronics
Explore M.S. or Ph.D. research in single-microfiber sensors, wearable interfaces, electronic sutures and soft robotics. Tell us which research question interests you and how your background connects with it.
A short introduction is enough to begin an inquiry. Formal graduate admission follows DGIST's application process.
Connect your coursework with an experimental research question. Ask about projects involving soft materials, device fabrication, sensing measurements or wearable systems.
Include your current program, interests and possible participation period so that research fit and timing can be discussed.
Discuss a research direction that builds on your expertise in materials, electronics, mechanical systems or bioengineering, with a focus on soft sensing devices and their integration.
Explore research directions and inquiry materials
Tell us what you are studying, which part of our research caught your attention and what you would like to learn or investigate. For an initial graduate or undergraduate inquiry, you may include a CV to provide context; you do not need a complete research proposal.
An informal research inquiry is separate from an admission application. If you decide to apply to a graduate program, follow the current DGIST admission requirements and application schedule.
Single microfibers are our starting point. We engineer flexible electrodes and soft sensors, then connect them with wearable interfaces, biomedical devices and robotic systems.
Flexible fiber electrodes and soft sensors that detect pressure, strain and contact, connecting materials engineering with wearable, biomedical and robotic systems.
Explore materials, electrodes and sensing devices
Sensing fibers and textile electrodes integrated into gloves and clothing for movement monitoring, muscle signal recording and human–robot interaction.
Explore smart textiles and wearable interfaces
Soft fiber devices combined with medical sutures for strain and pH sensing, alongside research on electrical stimulation and biodegradable electronics.
Explore fiber devices for biomedical research
Soft actuators with integrated sensing to measure deformation and provide feedback for controlled movement in robotic and wearable systems.
Explore soft robotics and sensing feedback
We welcome inquiries from researchers with a Ph.D. in materials science, electrical or electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, or a related field. Tell us how your expertise could connect with a research question in soft sensing or bioelectronics.
Depending on the research direction, a project could draw on your experience in:
Please contact Prof. Jaehong Lee with:
An inquiry can begin a discussion of research fit. Project scope, appointment availability and support arrangements are discussed individually.
Prior experience can be helpful. For an initial graduate or undergraduate conversation, tell us what you have studied and what you would like to learn. Your background and its connection to a possible project can be discussed.
Our research connects materials and fabrication with electronics, mechanical systems and biomedical applications. Explore the research overview to see where your interests might fit.
For a graduate or undergraduate inquiry, start with your current program and a few lines about your interests. A CV can provide additional context. For a postdoctoral inquiry, please include a CV, links to representative publications and a short description of your research interests.
No. A conversation with the lab helps explore research fit and possible next steps. Formal graduate applications follow DGIST's current admission requirements, schedule and evaluation process.
Include your university or program, research interests and possible participation period. The match with current research activities and the timing of a placement can then be discussed.
Contact Prof. Lee to discuss your intended program or research direction. Funding and appointment arrangements depend on the role, project and relevant program requirements.
Tell us what you are studying, which question interests you and what you would like to explore at SoBiLab.
You can be interested in a device, a material or an application without having a complete research plan. Introduce yourself and share what made you curious.
For postdoctoral research, include your CV and representative publications so that your expertise can be considered in the discussion.
