Yun Soung Kim

Dr. Kim is an Assistant Professor of Radiology at the BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. His research focuses on developing skin-like, stretchable, and wireless electronic systems that can be gently and seamlessly mounted on the skin. Leveraging a wide range of emerging manufacturing technologies, such as MEMS, aerosol-jet and screen printing, laser micromachining, and electronic chip integration, Dr. Kim strives to translate the concepts of smart medicine into practical applications that can be deployed in clinical settings. His most recent research outcomes include fully-printed wearable electronics, multi-functional health monitors with elastomeric properties tailored for specific age groups, and face-wearable electronics for portable ocular therapies. These projects are representative of Dr. Kim’s aim to combine breakthroughs in materials, manufacturing, and AI-driven data analysis toward improving patient outcomes as well as general health care.
