Biography
Unyong Jeong received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in Korea (1998). He received a M.A. degree (2000) and a Ph.D. degree (2003) in polymer physics in the same department. He joined Younan Xia’s group as a postdoctoral fellow to study the synthesis and applications of inorganic nanostructured materials.
Then, he joined Yonsei University in Korea (2006) and he moved to Dept. Materials Science and Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in 2015. He is a young Se-Ah distinguished professor in POSTECH and a member of Korea academy of science and technology. His research aims to understand the mechanical electrical properties of conductive materials and to fabricate flexible stretchable electronic devices for use in healthcare and electronic skin for robots. His work also includes solution-based synthesis of nanomaterials and their applications.
