About
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Manufacturing & Metrology Laboratory, Mechanical Engineering Department, Hanbat National University, Korea, with 7 years of experience, and I am studying advanced materials for for innovation and sustainability. I am an enthusiastic, adaptive, open-minded, fast-learning, and deeply-studying person with an interest and passion in employing Science and Technology for modern, smart, and sustainable living. I obtained a Ph.D. degree in 2019 in Energy Science Department, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, focusing on Advanced Material Science and Engineering. Experienced in research and development environment for high-tech material science and engineering, covering the whole process from design, fabrication, and improvement to final successful products. Actively and adaptively worked in multi-cultural working environment such as South Korea and Luxembourg and played a role as the leading figure in research projects with managing high-pressure situations and problem-solving skills. Inspired and built a strong team with colleagues.
