I graduated with a B.A. in Chemistry from Grinnell College in 2020. In LabMontiTM, I am studying Quantum Transport working on the Mechanically Controlled Break Junction project. Outside of lab, I enjoy being active with sports and playing board games.
Joohyung Park
Joohyung Park
Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea.
I received my B.S. in Chemistry and Physics at Chung-Ang University in Seoul, received a M.S. in Inorganic Chemistry at the same institute. My research field involves photoemission spectroscopy of 2D materials and quantum materials. Out of the work, I enjoy stargazing and astrophotography with my 8" Newtonian telescope, spending a whole night awake.
