Welcome to Yoon’s UW Bothell research lab!

Our research interests focus on the design and development of mechatronics systems and their applications in biomedical devices. In the current atmosphere of thriving collaboration between the medical and engineering establishments, including cutting-edge work on imaging/diagnosis and therapeutic approaches in surgical robotics, our research is topical and characterized by a strong interdisciplinary focus. Our team of engineers and scientists advances medical and assistive devices by creating and applying innovative approaches. We manufacture smart medical devices using mechatronics processes and automation. Our research efforts are expanding in multiple directions and producing meaningful outcomes, including academic publications, undergraduate research, intellectual property, and commercialization.
