I am Sungho Kim. I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory (MNTL) in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My supervisor is Yurii Vlasov. I received Ph. D. from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. My Ph. D. adviser is Jeffrey Weldon. My current academic interests include nanofluidics and implantable neural probe. My research includes modeling and simulation of molecular transport in electrically gated nanochannel using finite element software (COMSOL), fabrication of the conductive nanoporous membrane based on anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) for the gated molecule transport using sputtering, test experiment of fabricated conductive nanoporous membrane including molecule transport using positively and negatively charged drug molecules for glaucoma treatment, electrical characterization (nanofluidic diode) and novel device design (nanofluidic logic gate). My Ph.D. Thesis is "Electrically Gated Nanoporous Membranes for Smart Drug Delivery and Biomedical Devices"
