Biography

Biography

Prof. Yoonseob Kim studied Chemical Engineering at Hanyang University, Korea (2010) summa cum laude, and received his Ph.D. from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2016 (advisor: Prof. Nicholas A. Kotov). His Ph.D. work on stretchable electronic and optical materials from self-organized nanoparticles has earned him the ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Award 2017 and DSM Science & Technology Award, American Chemical Society 2018. Subsequently, he worked at the Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as a postdoctoral associate from 2016 to 2019 with Prof. Timothy M. Swager. During this time, he synthesized polymers with redox groups and charges for water purification and fuel cell applications, respectively. His research group at the HKUST synthesizes porous crystalline polymers and applies them to energy applications. The current research topics include “solid electrolytes from covalent organic frameworks”, “all-solid-state Lithium metal batteries”, “single-atom catalysts on covalent organic frameworks”, etc.
