Tee Chee Keong Benjamin is a Singaporean scientist. He helped to co-develop the electronic skin technology when he was a PhD student in Stanford University. In 2015, he was chosen as one of TR35 list (MIT Technology Review's global 35 Innovators Under 35) for his work on e-skin. The only Singaporean on the 2015 TR35 list, e-skins could potentially make prosthetic limbs as sensitive as human ones and enable intuitive human machine interactions.[1][2][3] In 2019, he co-developed an underwater self-healing transparent material that could be useful in marine environments.[4]
