Hi! I am Junghwan Byun, a postdoctoral scholar in the Physical Intelligence Department in Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems working with Prof. Metin Sitti. I completed my Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from Seoul National University, in Prof. Yongtaek Hong's Group. After the Ph. D. study, I joined Soft Robotics Research Center (SRRC) at Seoul National University under the supervision of Prof. Kyu-Jin Cho.

My research focuses on exploring advanced solutions to mediate ways that nature interacts with artificial systems, with an emphasis on "skin-like" electronic and robotic platforms.
