Research infrastructure
From automated sample preparation to rapid thermal processing and multi-channel sensing, these systems connect materials synthesis with reproducible measurement.
System integration
Experience integrating an automated workflow for support-solution preparation, precursor mixing, drop coating, drying, substrate transfer, and intense-pulsed-light processing.
International collaboration
Visiting research in Prof. Harry L. Tuller's group at MIT from December 2025 to February 2026, supporting scientific exchange in functional materials, defect chemistry, and sensing-related research.
Equipment setup
Hands-on setup of a xenon-lamp IPL platform, including irradiation geometry, sample-stage control, pulse-energy calibration, and infrared-camera temperature profiling up to ultrahigh transient temperatures.
Measurement platform
Experience setting up a gas-delivery and sensing platform with multiple analyte lines, humidity control, a test chamber, sensor arrays, and multiplexed chemiresistive measurements.
Oral presentations
Conference talks and outreach activities connecting ultrafast materials synthesis, catalyst engineering, and chemical sensing.
Oral presentation on nanosized metal catalysts, catalyst stability, and photothermal materials design at MIT.
Oral presentation on millisecond synthesis, phase engineering, and core@shell heterostructures across TMD and carbide materials.
Oral presentations on photothermal catalyst design, exsolution nanocatalysts, and single-atom catalyst strategies for functional metal-oxide surfaces.
Volunteer science classes for an elementary-school gifted program, introducing materials science and engineering through age-appropriate explanations and discussion. This service was recognized with the 2023 KAIST Character Scholarship in the Volunteer Service Category.
