I am a research professor at the Institute of Carbon Technology, Jeonju University, Korea. My research focuses on nanomaterials, carbon materials, and their applications in energy, environment, sensors, catalysis, and biomedical devices. I have published numerous articles and books in the field of nanomaterials and have been actively engaged in academic and professional societies, including the Korean Society of Chemical Engineering, the Korean Society of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, and the International Union of Materials Research Societies. I received my bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering from Jeonbuk National University and joined the faculty there in 1991. My early research centered on metal oxide nanomaterials such as ZnO, TiO2, and ITO, with applications in solar cells, sensors, and catalysis. From 2011 to 2020, I served as a senior researcher and director at SuNAM Co., Ltd., where I contributed to major R&D projects involving high-temperature superconducting wires, nanotechnology-based energy and environmental technologies, and advanced materials for biomedical and electronic applications. In 2021, I joined Jeonju University and have continued my work on carbon nanomaterials, including graphite and carbon nanotubes. I am also dedicated to promoting public understanding of nanomaterials and inspiring the next generation of students and entrepreneurs.
