Bio:

I am currently a faculty member at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering 신소재공학과, Yonsei University 연세대학교, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Concurrently, I have also been awarded the title of Honorary Research Fellow (Affiliate Faculty) to pursue research activities at the School of Physics in the University of Sydney, Australia. Prior coming to Korea, I was an Alexander von Humboldt fellow at the Theory Department of the Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Germany.
My research focuses on the development and application of materials theory for modern-day technologies. My primary interest lies in the fundamental understanding of the chemistry and physics of materials, probed via novel first-principles computational methods (coupled with modern machine learning methods). By applying state-of-the-art density-functional theory (DFT) calculations and the use of statistical models, simulations of poly-atomic systems are used to understand and predict the structure and properties of solids and their surfaces which includes studying the interactions and reactions of molecules adsorbed on surfaces, and the energetics of defects on surfaces (as well as interfaces) and in the bulk.
