About

I (Dr. Jae-Hun Yang) am a materials chemist with over 20 years of extensive international research experience in nanomaterials, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, porous materials, energy conversion and storage, bio-inorganic nanohybrids for biomedical application and advanced materials characterization using a wide range of analytical techniques. I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry (Inorganic and Materials Chemistry) from Seoul National University, South Korea in 2005, and has held research positions at Sungkyunkwan University, the University of Tokyo, Ewha Womans University, the University of South Australia, and the University of Newcastle.

My research focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of advanced functional materials, including carbon nitrides, layered inorganics (layered double hydroxide, layered metal oxide/sulfides, layered silicates) and their nanohybrids, porous materials, metal oxides/nitrides/oxynitrides, which have been developed for applications in photocatalytic hydrogen generation, electrocatalytic OER/ORR/HER and NH3 production, carbon capture and conversion, environmental remediation, electrochemical energy storage, and biomedicine application of nanohybrids. My research has contributed to significant advances in materials chemistry through the development of novel nanostructured functional materials with enhanced catalytic performance and surface functionalities, biocompatible property, and enhanced physicochemical properties.

Throughout my career, I have built an extensive international research network and established collaborations with leading scientists across Australia, Japan, South Korea, China, India, Europe, and the Middle East. My achievements include high-impact publications, successful competitive research fundings, patented technologies, industry engagement, and the supervision and mentoring of higher degree research students, demonstrating my strong capacity for research leadership and academic excellence.
