 Bright Walker is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Kyung Hee University in South Korea, where he researches semiconducting devices based on a variety of materials including conjugated organic molecules and polymers; metal oxide and sulfide semiconductors; perovskites and other hybrid semiconductors. His goal is to develop innovative new materials for application in solar cells, transistors, light-emitting transistors and new and unique types of semiconducting devices. Bright holds a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley (2003) as well as a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California at Santa Barbara (2012). He worked as a Research Scientist and Research Professor at Ulsan National University of Science and Technology, (UNIST), South Korea (2012-2018).  Prior to working with semiconducting devices, Bright worked for several years in the setting of a start-up company, synthesizing and characterizing commodity polymers. 

 Yeasin Khan is a Postdoctoral researcher currently at ECML in the department of chemistry. Yeassin was born and brought up in Bangladesh. He completed his BSc at University of Dhaka in the department of Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. He completed an MSc and PhD in Green Chemistry Lab & ECML at Kyung Hee university. Yeasin has several research interests in the field of environmental and energy related research fields. His future goal is to devote himself to doing progressive work in clean energy production field for the betterment of our planet's environment.

Nathan Plassais is currently a Ph.D. student in the ECML laboratory at Kyung Hee University, South Korea, under the supervision of Prof. Bright Walker. He collaborates closely with Prof. JungHwa Seo’s LCOM Laboratory at the University of Seoul, as part of a joint research initiative between both institutions. He obtained his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in 2020 and 2022, respectively, from the University of Angers, France. His M.Sc, the LUMOMAT program, an international graduate program focused on molecular materials for organic electronics and photonics. This program laid the foundation for his current research interests. From 2023 to 2024, Nathan worked as a study engineer at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) under the supervision of Prof. Clément Cabanetos, CNRS Research Director. His research, conducted at the International Research Laboratory 2BFUEL at Yonsei University, South Korea, focused on developing advanced materials for water depollution. His current work centers on Light Emitting Batteries and the development of high-conductivity polyelectrolytes, continuing his exploration of functional materials for next-generation electronic and photonic devices.

    황희경 (Hee Kyung Hwang) finished a Masterr's degree at Kyunghee university in the department of Chemistry. She is interested in developing various organic materials of devices. She is researching the materials of redox flow batteries now. She wants to contribute development of renewable energy.  

 희경 built out battery fabrication and testing facilities at ECML and is now working at a Dongwha Electrolyte (동화 일렉트로라이트), an international supplier of electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries.

김재영 (Jae Young Kim) Finished a master's degree in chemistry at Kyunghee University with ECML. He holds B.Sc from the Kyunghee univeristy. He is interested in wearable device, semi conductor, and electronic nose. Currently, he is designing a electronic nose which has high selectivity and stability based on organic semiconductor. After verifying our new designed electronic nose is practicable, he wants to graft the device onto 'Big data analytics'. His final goal is to create start-up company with the device and  make people's life better. 

재영 is now enrolled in the PhD program at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) under the supervision of Prof. Thuc-Quyen Nguyen. 

 안요한 (Yohan Ahn) received a bachelor’s, master’s and PhD degrees at Kyunghee university. Yohan is interested in renewable energy. Also he wants to make our environment cleaner by his research. Yohan previously participated in the study of CO2 capture and utilization during his master’s course. Now, he is researching on solar cell materials and hopes to contribute to protection of environment by developing superb materials. 요한 is now a post-doctoral fellow in the organic opto-electronic device lab (OODL) of the Department of Information Display at Kyung Hee University.
