Professor Eunho Lee of SeoulTech Named 'Emerging Investigator' by UK's Royal Society of Chemistry

Recognized for International Research Excellence in Chemical Engineering

Seoul National University of Science and Technology announced on the 18th that Professor Eunho Lee of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering has been named to the 'Emerging Investigator' series selected by 'Materials Horizons,' a world-renowned academic journal published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Professor Eunho Lee, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Seoul National University of Science and Technology.

This series is a program that introduces promising scientists who are expected to achieve outstanding research results and show future potential, selected from among early-career researchers around the world who are leading creative and influential research in the fields of materials science and chemistry.

Founded in 1841, the Royal Society of Chemistry is one of the oldest and most prestigious academic institutions specializing in chemistry worldwide. Through various channels such as research publication, science policy, and international cooperation, it leads academic exchange and innovation among researchers around the globe.

In particular, 'Materials Horizons' is regarded as one of the flagship journals of the Royal Society of Chemistry, leading the latest trends in the field of materials chemistry.

This selection recognizes Professor Lee's comprehensive achievements in developing artificial synaptic devices and neuromorphic platforms for artificial intelligence based on the control of ion-polymer interactions in organic semiconductors, as well as his interdisciplinary approach and the potential technological impact in this field.

Professor Lee stated, "In order to elucidate ion-polymer interactions and redox mechanisms at the fundamental molecular level, it is essential to adopt a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses not only materials design but also electrochemical analysis, physical chemistry modeling, and computational science techniques." He added, "Going forward, I plan to focus on exploring various practical applications, such as electrochemical sensors and biointerfaces that integrate next-generation neuromorphic platforms, based on these fundamental electrochemical principles."

Currently, Professor Lee is conducting research on analyzing ion-polymer interactions and designing devices using electrolyte-based organic transistors, and continues to publish related results in internationally renowned academic journals.

In addition, through collaboration with researchers both in Korea and abroad, he is expanding the feasibility of developing artificial intelligence devices that integrate materials science, electronic engineering, and computational science from multiple perspectives.
