My PhD research group, DRL, is directed by Prof. Evelyn Wang in the Mechanical Engineering Department at MIT. The DRL combines fundamental studies of micro and nanoscale heat and mass transport processes with the development of novel nanostructured materials to create innovative solutions in thermal management, thermal energy storage, solar thermal energy conversion, and water desalination. We leverage state-of-the-art micro/nanofabrication, unique measurement, and model prediction capabilities to enable mechanistic insights into complex fluid, interfacial, and thermal transport processes.

I received my M.S. degree in the NTL, Mechanical Engineering Department at Yonsei University under the guidance of Prof. Jongbaeg (JB) Kim. The NTL has specialties in the modeling and development of MEMS devices exploiting the interfacial properties of nanomaterials. Based on micro/nano machining and nanomaterial-synthesis capabilities (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, GaN nanowires, WO₂ nanowires etc.), the NTL has been developing functional MEMS/NEMS devices, piezoelectric/electrostataic energy harvesters, flexible/stretchable sensors, and gas sensors.
Prior to joining the DRL, I worked at Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) in Electrochemistry Department for four and a half years. KIMS is a research institute funded by South Korea government, where comprehensive research on material science is being conducted. The major research areas are metallurgy, powder & ceramics, surface science, and composites.
