Jae Hong Kim

About

Jae Hong Kim is a Sr. research scientist at the Soft Hybrid Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). He obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2014. Then, he studied antibody mimetics based on self-assembled nanomaterials as a postdoctoral associate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) for 4 years. Before joining KIST in 2021, he worked as a research scientist in the nanotechnology industry for 3 years developing thin-film polymer nanocomposites for seawater desalination. His current research interest is bio-inspired and self-assembled nanomaterials for bio, energy, and environmental applications. He mainly focuses on lessons about structure-function relationships from biology and applies the principles to the world of materials science.
