Research Interest:

My research is the study of a novel synthetic procedure of the nanomembranes and investigating the applications of it, especially bio-application such as separation, biosensor, and drug-delivery. I am working on synthesizing a new kind of porous, high-surface-area nanoparticle nanotubes. Nanoparticles, are particularly attractive building blocks for nanomaterial architectures. I need to modify the property of nanoparticle nanotube such as electrical, optical property and diverse surface chemistries.

Personal Bio:
I am from South Korea which looks Florida because it is surrounded by the sea. My home town is Gangneung, well-known as a summer resort. I received my MS of bioinorganic chemistry in 2001 and my BS of chemistry in Korea University. To me, the most valuable person is my wife, Heh young. I love her very much. I am so pleased that we will have another family member, our baby this December. If I am free, I like to play sports such as taekwondo, basketball, soccer, and running. University of Florida! Here is the heaven to me. I am so glad to join Dr. Martin's group who is one of pioneers in the field of nanochemistry. Now, I am a novice, a graduate student in UF, but I will do my best to get through the goal of my research.
