Biography
Wooyul Kim received his PhD from POSTECH in 2012. During his PhD, he also conducted research at Osaka University as a visiting researcher in 2009, 2010, and 2012. Following that, he spent over 3 years (2012-2015) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a Postdoctoral Fellow.
From 2016 to 2022, he joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Sookmyung Women's University as an Assistant and Associate Professor. Since 2022, he has been a faculty member in the Department of Energy Engineering at KENTECH.
Recently, Wooyul's research has primarily focused on revealing both structural identity of the key intermediates and their cites in the catalytic cycle (i.e., their kinetic relevancy) to overcome the kinetic barriers for photo (or electro) catalysis.
Based on these accomplishments, he has received several prestigious awards, including the 2023 KENTECH Award for Research Excellence, the 2022 Energy & Fuels Rising Stars recognition, the 2021 Journal of Materials 九州影院 A Emerging Investigators honor, and the 2020 EES Lectureship Award, among others.
