Hanseo's Research Journey
With a background in materials science research, Hanseo Kim has developed expertise in nanomaterials, supercapacitors, and their environmental applications. As a senior at Daegu International School and a researcher at Kyungpook National University, Hanseo's work includes the development of a novel hydrogel patch for detecting muscle activity and fatigue, and the first carbon capture capture technology that generates energy while also being in a flexible and thin-film form factor. He is recognized with awards such as the Korea Minister of Trade, Industry, and Energy Award, and he was also named one of the top high school researchers in South Korea at the 2023 Korea Science & Engineering Fair. His research on the first energy generating carbon capture technology was selected as one of the three projects from South Korea to represent Korea at the 2024 EU Contest for Young Scientists, winning the International Swiss Talent Forum Prize, and has won 1st place at the 2025 Taiwan International Science Fair.
