“At Textile Hybrid Lab, led by Prof. Seonyoung Youn, we envision textiles as interfaces between the body and the world that improve human experience, advance health and rehabilitation, and enable more sustainable and inclusive futures.”
Wearable Health Monitoring
We develop textile-based wearable systems for health monitoring, rehabilitation, and therapeutic support. By integrating sensing, actuation, and simulation-based optimization, we explore how textiles can enhance functionality, improve comfort, and provide adaptive, body-centered care.

We investigate robotic textiles that actively respond to the body through programmable materials, soft actuation, and compression-based interfaces.
Our work explores how textile structures and robotic yarns can enable wearable systems that are soft, functional, and seamlessly integrated into everyday life.

We study how textiles can be translated into digital models through AI-based textile digitization, virtual simulation, and drape analysis.
By connecting physical materials with computational tools, we aim to improve the accuracy, accessibility, and scalability of digital textile design.
