Short Biography
Prof. Yong-Hyun Kim is a professor at Department of Physics and Graduate School of Nanoscience and Technology, KAIST since 2009. He received his B.S. (1997), M.S. (1999), and Ph. D. (2003) from Department of Physics, KAIST, and worked for National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colorado, USA as a post-doc and regular staff scientist from 2003 to 2009. He specializes on first principles density-functional theory calculations for real materials and energy applications including hydrogen storage, battery, water splitting, thermoelectricity, tribology, solar cells, and display. Noticeably he solved the long-standing mystery about the origin of triboelectricity. He published more than 130 SCI peer-reviewed papers including Nature Materials, Phys. Rev. Lett., and J. Am. Chem. Soc. with total citations over 9700 (from Google Scholar). He is a recipient of the Order of Science and Technology Merit in 2021 from President Moon Jae-in.
