Yun Soung Kim, PhD

Dr. Yun Soung Kim is an Assistant Professor of Radiology at the BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. His research focuses on the development of soft, stretchable, and wireless electronic systems that seamlessly integrate with the skin for real-time health monitoring and human-machine interfaces. Dr. Kim earned his B.S. and M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2009 and 2012, respectively, and his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of California San Diego in 2017. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Georgia Institute of Technology, where he later served as Research Faculty until 2022. By leveraging cutting-edge nanomanufacturing technologies—including MEMS, aerosol-jet and screen printing, laser micromachining, and electronic chip integration—Dr. Kim is pioneering next-generation wearable biosensors with direct clinical and consumer applications. His work includes a printed stress-monitoring patch, a multi-functional wearable with real-time alerts powered by machine learning, and face-wearable sensors for ocular therapies.
