About Me
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Milan, Italy. I received both my B.S. and Ph.D. from Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), South Korea, where I studied chemical engineering and carried out my doctoral research under the supervision of Professor Nam-Gyu Park. My academic training has been shaped by a strong interest in functional materials, device physics, and experimental approaches to understanding complex material systems.
Over the course of my research career, I have become particularly interested in work that bridges fundamental science and technological application. I value careful experimental investigation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the broader international nature of scientific research. Through my academic path, I have aimed to build not only technical expertise, but also a research perspective that connects scientific depth with practical impact.
