Lee Research Group – Chi Hwan Lee

Lee’s research group is committed to filling a vital gap between engineering innovations and unmet clinical needs.

We concentrate on creating microscale transducers that are simple yet innovative, aiming to bridge this gap effectively. Our work is driven by the potential for substantial economic and societal benefits, steering clear paths towards practical applications.

We specialize in the development and exploration of various wearable biomedical devices. These devices are designed to attach safely to the skin or the eye, enabling continuous, remote monitoring of health and disease conditions. Such technologies promise vast applications, extending from everyday healthcare monitoring to specialized uses in rehabilitation and telemedicine.

Key Areas of Research:

·       Wearable Healthcare Technologies: Developing devices that offer non-invasive monitoring of vital health parameters.

·       Tele-Medicine: Utilizing wearable tech to facilitate remote diagnosis and medical consultations, enhancing access to healthcare.

·       Functional Soft Biomaterials: Innovating materials that are both functional and comfortable for long-term wear.

·       Stretchable Bioelectronics: Engineering electronics that maintain functionality while conforming to dynamic, biological surfaces.

·       Drug Delivery Systems: Designing microscale systems for targeted drug delivery that are more efficient and patient-friendly.

·       Microfabrication: Advancing the precision manufacturing of microscale devices to improve performance and integration in biomedical applications.
