Prof. Tae Hyun Yoon (TH Yoon) has received his B.S./M.S. degree at KAIST(Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) and worked as a researcher for SK TRI (Taeduk Research Institute) and SAIT(Samsung Advanced Institute ofTechnology). Then, he moved to Stanford University for his Ph.D / postdoctoral studies and joined to the current position at Hanyang University (Seoul, South Korea) as a faculty member of chemistry department. He is currently leading the Center for Next Generation Cytometry (CNGC) and a nanosafety research community (S2NANO). His current research is focused on the 1) Developments of Novel Analytical Techniques for Cells and Nanoparticles, 2) Predictive Model Developements for Clinical Diagnostics and Toxicity Assessment,and 3) Synchrotron-based Soft X-ray SpectroNanoscopy. He is a CEO of entrepreneurial lab. of Hanyang University (Yoon Idea Lab.) and principal investigator of several Korean government funded biomedical and nanosafety projects. He is also participating in several EU H2020 consortiums (e.g., ACEnano, NanoSolveIT and SABYDOMA) as well as Pan-pacific Serendipity Lab of Japan (JSPS Core2Core Program).
Dr. Kang Hee Seol received her B.S/M.S./Ph.D in physics from Hanyang University (Seoul, South Korea), and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Hanyang University to study the light-matter interactions and quantum behavior of light. Currently, she is a research assistant professor at the group of professor Tae Hyun Yoon at Hanyang University and is a member of the Next-Generation Cytometry Center (CNGC) and Next-Generation Materials Design Institute (INGMD). Her current research interests are 1) nanomaterial-cell interactions using mass cytometry (CyTOF) and 2) standardization through quantification of nanomaterial measurements.
Ms. My Kieu Ha graduated from University of Science (Vietnam National University) in 2011 with a B.S. degree. She has joined Prof. Tae Hyun Yoon’s lab at Hanyang University (Seoul, South Korea) since 2015 and is currently a doctoral candidate in an integrated M.S. and Ph.D. program. Her research interest is focused on analyzing the heterogeneity and mechanisms of the internalization and toxicity of nanoparticles in cells.
Mr. Tung Xuan Trinh earned his Chemistry B.S. degree at Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea in 2016. He continued academic study and joined the research group of Prof. Tae Hyun Yoon at Hanyang University. He is currently a PhD candidate doing research at Hanyang University (Seoul, South Korea) and a research student at KRICT (Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, Daejeon, South Korea). His research interest is focused on predictive nantoxicity and nanoparticles characterization methods.
