About Jongpil Ye
I am an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Inha University. My research is in the field of of micro- and nanoprocessing. I am particularly interested in template-assisted micro/nano fabrication and morphology-controlled synthesis of nanomaterials. I apply various calculation methods, including DFT, MD, and KMC, to deepen mechanistic understandings of pattern and structure formation during the processings. My recent calcualtion has also been focused on the effects of surface geometries on the adsorbate binding energies, which are very important in surface science and catalysis. I received my doctorate from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT in 2011, under the guidance of Prof. Carl V. Thompson. My dissertation was focused on understanding mechanisms underlying the solid-state dewetting of single crystal films. [Link to my dissertation] I worked on CVD graphene growth as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Prof. Rodney S. Ruoff at the University of Texas at Austin for a year before joining Inha University in 2012.
