A multidisciplinary group united by curiosity about matter at the atomic scale.
Korea Institute of Science and Technology
Designing matter at the atomic scale to unlock the next generation of clean energy solutions — from CO₂ conversion to precision-engineered catalytic systems.
We focus on developing advanced materials and processes for adsorption or catalysis and understanding phenomena occuring on their surface
We aim to precisely design the structure of adsorbents and heterogeneous catalysts with atomic precision. Particularly, we are interested in distinct surface properties observed from low-nuclearity atoms.
We develop the process integrating adsorption and catalysis, aiming at increasing the productivity and efficiency of processes.
Identification of structural features and understanding surface or sub-surface phenomena in adsorbents and heterogeneous catalysts.
Capturing CO₂ from flue gas and directly from air, and converting it into fuels and value-added chemicals — ideally within a single isothermal operation.
Catalytic upgrading of biomass platform chemicals such as furfural and lignin-derived aromatics into transportation fuels and high-value intermediates.
Connecting biological and chemical conversion into one process chain, reaching routes that neither approach could achieve on its own.
Peer-reviewed research from the LAC group at KIST.
