Jinhyeong Jang, Ph.D.
I'm Jinhyeong Jang, Ph.D. in Materials Science Engineering. My current research interests include [1] stimuli-responsive inorganic nanoparticles & electrodes (e.g., magnetoelectric, piezoelectric, photocatalytic, electrochemical, optoacoustic materials), [2] multi-functional organic polymer hydrogels (e.g., polysuccinimides, polyaspartamides, polysaccharides), and [3] self-assembled biological matters (e.g., amyloid aggregates).
