About
Dr. Jae-Young Cho is currently working as a Senior Research Officer at National Research Council of CANADA - Quantum & Nanotechnologies Research Centre (NRC-QN) and Adjunct Professor, in Dept of Mechanical Engineering, University of Alberta. His area of expertise is nano-characterization using different microscopic/spectroscopic techniques. During his Ph.D. at McGill, he studied the effects of microstructure and texture on the reliability of nano-scaled copper damascene interconnects. Right after receiving his Ph.D., he joined NRC-NANO in 2005 and his main role was to develop new soft nanomaterials characterization methods using cutting-edge microscopic/spectroscopic techniques.
While at NRC-NANO, he has been involved in many different collaborative research projects with universities, companies and different parts of NRCs & OGDs. He has published over 80 articles in peer reviewed journals, conference proceedings and technical reports. He is a two-time recipient of the Research Excellence Award at NRC-NANO (2019, 2022) . He has maintained active collaborations with industrial, government and academic partners, and has supervised Ph.D./MEng/Co-op students from various universities in CANADA.
His current works focus on developing in-situ characterization methods for nanomaterials, particularly in the areas of soft nanomaterials and he is leading CCUS (carbon capture utilization and storage) and hydrogen projects & cryo-EM group at NRC-QN.
