Profile Summary

As a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering at Hanyang University, I bring a wealth of expertise in nanomaterials, bio-electronic devices, and advanced material characterization. My research interests are diverse and cutting-edge, encompassing the development of biomaterial nanofibers for versatile E-tattoo applications, the fabrication of wearable bio-electronic devices using 3D printing, and the synthesis of low-dimensional materials for use in energy harvesting and environmental sensors. With a strong background in physics, I have held several postdoctoral research positions at prestigious institutions, including the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Hanyang University and the Department of Physics at Ajou University. My work has consistently focused on the intersection of materials science and technology, exploring the thermal properties of organic polymers, defect-induced modifications in nanomaterials, and the electronic and magnetic properties of wide band gap semiconductors. My technical skills are extensive, covering a wide range of growth and characterization techniques such as e-beam and thermal evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and many others. I have authored numerous publications in high-impact journals, reflecting my contributions to the fields of materials science and nanotechnology. My research has led to innovations such as self-powered, multifunctional electronic tattoos and eco-friendly polymer graphene-based conductive inks for printed electronics. In addition to my research, I offer consultation on nanomaterials and nanotechnology, writing and reviewing research and development projects, technical writing and grant proposals, data analysis, and collaborative research opportunities.
