Department of Chemistry, Korea University, 2026. 09.~
Jin-Woo Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Korea University. He received his Ph.D. from KAIST under the supervision of Prof. Bumjoon Kim, where he studied polymer semiconductors for stretchable organic electronics, and later worked with Prof. James Durrant at the University of Oxford on charge-carrier dynamics and organic photocatalysis. At Korea University, his research focuses on understanding how molecular structure and nanoscale morphology govern the optoelectronic and mechanical properties of polymer semiconductors, with applications in stretchable optoelectronics and sustainable photocatalysis.
