Wo Bin Bae
Postdoctoral Researcher (10/2024 - present)
Wo Bin Bae, originally from South Korea, completed his undergraduate education in Environmental Science and Engineering at the UNIST (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology) in 2018. Furthermore, he did his M.S. and Ph.D. at the Environmental Catalysis Lab in GIST (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology) in 2020 and 2024, respectively. Subsequently, he relocated to the United States to further his experience and knowledge in the field of environmental catalysis. Now, he is conducting his research under the supervision of Dr. Jun Hee Jang as a postdoctoral research associate at Rowan University. His research interests mainly focus on the design and development of environmental catalysts to convert lignocellulosic biomass or methane into valuable products (such as SAF or hydrogen).
