Career

He was born in Seoul, and studied physics as an undergraduate at Seoul National University before going on to Tohoku University in Japan as a doctoral student. Thereafter he was a research associate at the Department of Chemistry, University of Tokyo (1996–2000). He then returned to his native South Korea, where he was an assistant/associate professor at the Department of Physics, Yonsei University (2000–2009), and then a full professor (2009–2010). During his time at Yonsei, he was part of a research team that developed a semiconductor nanometer wire with a thickness of 1 to 3 atoms.[3][4]

Afterwards he moved to the Department of Physics, POSTECH (2010–present), where he served as director of Center for Atomic Wires and Layers (2003–2012), director of Center for Low Dimensional Electronic Symmetries (2012–2013), and founding director of Center for Artificial Low Dimensional Electronic Systems, Institute for Basic Science (2013–present).[5][6]

gollark: Hmm. Possibly. But that'd be a lot of moderator work.
gollark: Not great when there are multiple parallel discussions, plus there's no way for stuff people like to be more visible.
gollark: I've always thought that forums were poorly structured for most conversation anyway - you just put text into linear things and quote people usually.
gollark: Inconsistency is important - memorizing the differences between countless weirdnesses is a waste of development time.
gollark: You could write it in assembly and it might work.
