Research Interests

Trained as a materials scientist, Dr. Kim is interested in new materials in cutting-edge science and nanotechnology. In particular, he is interested in organic electronics, which use organic materials in electronic devices. In his studies, various organic semiconductor compounds and 2-D nanomaterials, such as graphene, are used to fabricate field-effect transistors (FETs), and their properties are studied. The solid-state structures of each material are also investigated to further understand the effect of morphology effect on the device performance. At Â鶹´«Ã½, he continues his research projects with local high school students as well as Â鶹´«Ã½ students. 

In the classroom, he teaches the following courses:

• Chemistry of Everyday Things (General Education course)
• Preparation for Chemistry
• General Chemistry I/II lecture and lab
• Physical Chemistry I/II lecture and lab
• Inorganic Chemistry
• Materials Chemistry
