Researcher & Entrepreneur
Summary
I'm Hanseo Kim — a student, researcher, and photographer passionate about exploring the intersection of science, society, and storytelling. With a focus on biology and public health, I’ve conducted award-winning research in carbon capture technology and am deeply interested in tackling real-world issues like aging populations and sustainable innovation. Whether I'm analyzing data in the lab or capturing fleeting moments through a lens, I strive to preserve, understand, and improve the world around me.
Looking ahead, I aspire to merge my scientific interests with entrepreneurship, building solutions that improve health, extend quality of life, and make scientific advancements more accessible to society.
Experience
Researcher
2025 - Present
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
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.
