Prof. Donghee Son is currently a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU). He received his B.S. degree in Physics from Korea University in 2007 and his M.S. degree in Nanoscience and Technology from Seoul National University in 2009. He then worked at the R&D division of Hynix Semiconductor, focusing on non-volatile resistive memory devices. In 2015, he earned his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Seoul National University under the supervision of Prof. Dae-Hyeong Kim. Following his doctoral studies, he pursued postdoctoral research in Chemical Engineering at Stanford University under the supervision of Prof. Zhenan Bao in 2017. 

Prof. Son began his independent research career as a Principal Investigator at the Center for Bionics within the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), where he initiated studies on peripheral nerve interfaces. Since joining the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at SKKU in 2019, he has been actively leading research in soft bioelectronics, with topics ranging from self-healing electronic skin devices to closed-loop neuroprosthetic systems.His representative publications are as follows.

1. "Reconfigurable assembly of self-healing stretchable transistors and circuits for integrated systems", Nature Electronics, Accepted (2025)

2. "A shape-morphing cortex-adhesive sensor for closed-loop transcranial ultrasound neurostimulation", Nature Electronics, 7, 800 (2024)

3. "Sticky and strain-gradient artificial epineurium for sutureless nerve repair in rodents and nonhuman primates", Advanced Materials 2307810 (2024)

4. "Injectable tissue prosthesis for instantaneous closed-loop rehabilitation", Nature 623, 58 (2023)
