I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Schatz group at Northwestern University. My research mainly focuses on metal cation separation and entangled two photon absorption via computational methods based on physical chemistry.

In 2014, I received a bachelor’s degree in nanochemistry and bioengineering from Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST). While receiving bachelor’s degree, I conducted undergraduate research (topic: coarse-grained modeling and simulation on self-assembly of CdSe-ZnS core-shell quantum dot) under the supervision of Prof. Sang Kyu Kwak. And I started graduate studies and received PhD degree in chemical engineering from the same research group in 2020. My PhD thesis was mainly focused on unveiling reaction mechanisms on energetic nanomaterials and Li-CO2 battery via multi-scale molecular modeling and simulation. Then I joined the Schatz group at Northwestern University in 2021 as a postdoctoral fellow. I am currently interested in investigating physicochemical phenomena of condensed nanomaterials based on computational chemistry.

In my spare time, I enjoy chatting with good company, drinking coffee, taking pictures, and going on food tours.
