Experience

Researcher

2025 - Present

Wolverton Research Group at Northwestern University

Kyungpook National University Department of Materials Science

Utilizing density functional theory (DFT) simulations to accelerate machine learning model development for predicting and screening novel cathode materials with high energy density, structural stability, and efficient ion transport, enabling next-generation battery design.

Researcher

2023 - 2025

Kyungpook National University Department of Engineering

Kyungpook National University Department of Materials Science

At Kyungpook National University, I spearheaded the development of the world's first carbon capture device that generates energy while capturing carbon dioxide, leveraging moisture-induced electricity generation and supercapacitive swing adsorption of CO₂. This groundbreaking technology sets ground for future research of a new category of carbon capture technology that is flexible and sustainable by approaching carbon capture technology in a new way.
