浪花直播

Biography

Yun Jeong Hwang received her Bachelor鈥檚 and Master鈥檚 degree in 浪花直播 from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in 2003 and 2005. She then moved to USA for her PhD to work with Professor Peidong Yang at University of California, Berkeley where her research focused on photoelectrochemical water splitting using semiconductor nanowires.

In June 2012, she joined the clean energy research center at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) where she started to work on electro-catalytic materials for CO₂ reduction and water oxidation for a sustainable carbon cycle technology. She is currently a principal researcher of KIST and also a professor at the Energy and Environmental Department in Korea University of Science and Technology.

Yun Jeong's research interests focus on synthesis and surface characterization of electrocatalyst and photoelectrocatalyst materials to understand the catalytic activities, specifically electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction, water electrolysis, photoelectrochemical water splitting, and solar fuel conversion reactions. She has published about 100 peer-reviewed articles in the field of catalyst materials for energy and environmental applications.
