Group 3. Subsequent reactions
Prof. Zee Hwan Kim’s lab
The goal of the Kim’s lab at SNU is to experimentally study the fundamental light-molecule-metal interaction to better understand the photochemistry of molecules on metallic surfaces. For this purpose, we study and use the plasmonics, the resonant light-metal interaction at nanoscale, to overcome the limitations of molecular spectroscopy, and to discover new interactions.
Prof. Yousung Jung’s lab
Our research group aims to use computational methods to understand electron transfer processes in electrode-electrolyte interfaces. We investigate and incorporate properties of the electrified interface in modelling electron transfer processes at the atomic-level with applications in electrocatalysis and energy conversion.
Prof. Min Sang Kwon’s lab
Our research group is seeking to build novel molecular design principles by establishing molecular structure-property relationships at the interface of chemistry, physics, and materials science, to design organic and polymeric materials with enhanced functional properties from consideration of the specific needs of a given application. For example, highly efficient purely organic photocatalysts (e.g., with long triplet excited-state lifetime, aqueous solubility, etc.) and visible-light-driven photocatalysis thereof, and polymeric materials for pressure-sensitive adhesives or polyurethanes have been developed.
