Professor Sang Min Won's research lab specializes in the development of advanced, biocompatible electronic systems for long-term interfacing with biological tissues, with a focus on neural and sensory interfaces. The lab pioneers flexible, ultrathin, and implantable devices that enable high-resolution recording and stimulation of neural activity, as well as multimodal sensing of mechanical and thermal stimuli. Key research directions include bioresorbable electronics, high-density neural interfaces, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for biomedical applications.

Long-lasting, high-resolution neural interfaces that are ultrathin and flexible are essential for precise brain mapping and high-performance neuroprosthetic systems. Scaling to sample thousands of sites across large brain regions requires integrating powered electronics to multiplex many electrodes to a few external wires. However, existing multiplexed electrode arrays rely on encapsulation strategies that have limited implant lifetimes. Here, we developed a flexible, multiplexed electrode array
Sensors that reproduce the complex characteristics of cutaneous receptors in the skin have important potential in the context of artificial systems for controlled interactions with the physical environment. Multimodal responses with high sensitivity and wide dynamic range are essential for many such applications. This report introduces a simple, three-dimensional type of microelectromechanical sensor that incorporates monocrystalline silicon nanomembranes as piezoresistive elements in a configur
Technologies capable of establishing intimate, long-lived optical/electrical interfaces to neural systems will play critical roles in neuroscience research and in the development of nonpharmacological treatments for neurological disorders. The development of high-density interfaces to 3D populations of neurons across entire tissue systems in living animals, including human subjects, represents a grand challenge for the field, where advanced biocompatible materials and engineered structures for e
Abstract Emerging classes of bioresorbable electronic materials serve as the basis for active biomedical implants that are capable of providing sensing, monitoring, stimulating, and other forms of function over an operating period matched to biological processes such as wound healing. These platforms are of interest because subsequent dissolution, enzymatic degradation, and/or bioresorption can eliminate the need for surgical extraction. This report introduces natural wax materials as long‐lived
This paper describes the fabrication and properties of flexible strain sensors that use thin ribbons of single-crystalline silicon on plastic substrates. The devices exhibit gauge factors of 43, measured by applying uniaxial tensile strain, with good repeatability and agreement with expectation based on finite-element modeling and literature values for the piezoresistivity of silicon. Using Wheatstone bridge configurations integrated with multiplexing diodes, these devices can be integrated into
