Jamie Kyujin Paik is a Canadian engineer who is a professor and director of the Reconfigurable Robotics Lab at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.

Early life and education[edit]

Paik was born in Canada.[1] Her father is a scientist and her mother is a painter.[2][1] She completed her bachelor's degree at University of British Columbia.[3] She majored in mechanical engineering.[3] She earned her PhD at Seoul National University, sponsored by Samsung Electronics.[4] Her PhD considered the limbs of anthropomorphic robots.[2]

Research[edit]

Paik worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Pierre and Marie Curie University, where she worked on laparoscopic tools. JAIMY, a 5 mm size motorised robot, can be used to assist suturing during surgery.[2] It is available commercially through Endocontrol Medical.[2][5] She joined Harvard University as a postdoctoral researcher, working with Erik Demaine, Daniela L. Rus and Robert Wood.[2]

In 2012, Paik founded the Reconfigurable Robotics Lab at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.[1][6] She is a member of the Swiss National Center of Competence in Research.[2][7] Her recent work focuses on robotic origami, robogami.[8][4] She developed vacuum-powered Soft Pneumatic Actuators for compliant robotics.[9][10][11] She was an invited speaker at the Obama Administration's Women Inspire Innovation workshop in 2013.[12] She was a judge at the 2016 and 2018 Soft Robotics Toolkit competition.[13] She was a participant at the 2018 Science Foo Camp. She was a 2019 TED Conferences speaker.[14]
