Hanseo's Research Journey
With a background in energy and medical device research, Hanseo Kim has developed expertise in nanomaterials, supercapacitors, and their biomedical 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 a moisture-powered thin-film supercapacitor for carbon capture. 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 in the 2023 Korea Science & Engineering Fair. His research on a novel supercapacitor that adsorbs carbon dioxide was selected as one of the three projects from South Korea to represent Korea at the 2024 EU Contest for Young Scientist, and Hanseo has made significant contributions to both energy and medical research.
