National Gwangju Science Museum 'Quantum Dots and Displays' April Science School

The National Gwangju Science Museum and Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) will hold the April Science School on the 19th at the Sangsang Hall in the main building.

This lecture, themed ‘Quantum Dots and Displays,’ will invite Dr. Chang-Yeol Lee from the GIST Institute of Advanced Photonics to explore what quantum dots are, how displays have evolved, and why quantum dot displays are necessary.

Dr. Lee earned his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at GIST, conducted visiting research at the University of Cambridge in the UK and Rice University in the USA, and is currently a senior researcher at the GIST Institute of Advanced Photonics.

His main research areas include the development of high-quality display materials and devices using organic and inorganic quantum dots, studies on the dynamics of organic semiconductor devices using ultrafast laser spectroscopy, and the development of polymer-based high-sensitivity sensors for piezoelectricity, viscosity, and bio-measurements.

The 2023 Science School allows on-site admission after online pre-registration on a first-come, first-served basis for 150 participants, and is free for everyone from children to adults.

Various events will also be held.

Participants will receive a digital desk clock souvenir that can check the display, and collecting four or more stamps?one given each month?will earn a special gift.

Leaving a review with photos on the science museum’s website after the event will provide a mobile coupon.

The National Gwangju Science Museum and GIST have been hosting the ‘Science School’ every third Wednesday evening of the month, receiving great responses as a regular lecture series delivering diverse scientific knowledge to make difficult science easy to understand.
