I have commenced my work as a Reader at the James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow since May 2024 at the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Previously, I was a group leader at University of Bayreuth, serving both Department of Chemistry and Bavarian Center for Battery Technology (Baybatt), which is a Bavaria state-funded battery research center. Prior to joining University of Bayreuth/Baybatt, I was a staff engineer at Samsung SDI, specializing on electrode processing. I received my BS degree, MS degree, and PhD degree in materials science and engineering from KAIST in Korea. 

My current research topic includes the synthesis of functional materials, energy storage and conversion, and in situ characterizations. I also would like to focus heavily both on the materials and manufacturing aspects of the lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitor, and next-generation batteries, as all of them are closely related. In order to address the energy supply needs, it is also important to consider the integration of energy storage system with other devices such as energy harvesters, which is also an additional aspect of research interest that I have. I welcome passionate individuals whose background is in chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering.
