Dr. Seong in Hong employed
as an assistant professor at Gachon University
Dr. Seong in Hong from Nano/Bio AI Electronics Lab (NBAIEL) is starting his career as an assistant professor at the department of physics, Gachon University in coming March.
Dr. Hong was honored Ph.D. degree with his study, “Thin film field-effect phototransistors” and served as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Texas at Austin.
Dr. Hong, under Prof. Sunkook Kim’s guidance, is highly engaged in developing next-generation semiconductor materials. His findings were published in a total of 28 distinguished SCI journals such as Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, and ACS Nano. Moreover, while he was a Ph.D. candidate, he was selected for national research projects such as [NRF] ROK-CANADA Global Research Program (GRA), [NRF] Creative-challenge Research Project, [BK] Global Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (GPF).
Dr. Hong also had a few challenges to this end, due to lab relocation, pandemic-related research frustration, and so on. However, with support and encouragement from the advisor, Prof. Sunkook Kim, he has managed difficult situations into opportunities. According to Dr. Hong, transfer to AMSE broaden his horizons as a researcher and drove his resolution to remain in the field to extend his research and foster experts.
Dr. Hong managed this pandemic crisis by devoting his time to innovative studies as a post-doctor in Prof. Kim’s lab. He said, “As a result, I was able to expand my research capability during my time at AMSE, with its superior research infrastructure and support.”
Currently, Dr. Hong is leading ‘Overwhelming Nano Electronics Laboratory’ after being appointed at Gachon University. He is committed to grow cutting-edge semiconductor materials to develop devices with top-notch performance.
