Jang-Joo Kim

Jang-Joo Kim was a professor up to 2020 andis now an emeritus professor in the Department of Materials Science andEngineering of Seoul National University (SNU) since 2003. After finishing hisPhD at Stanford University, he worked for SRI International as a postdoctor,Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute as a Senior Member and aPrincipal Member of Technical Staff, and Gwangju Institute of Science andTechnology as a professor before joining to SNU. His current research interestsinclude the development of highly efficient materials and devices based onOrganic Semiconductors such as OLEDs and OPVs. He is also interested in theelectrical and optical processes in organic semiconductors such as charge injection,transport, recombination, the inter- and intramolecular charge transfer in theexcited and ground states, orientation of molecules in amorphous materials,light in-coupling and out-coupling in organic photonic devices such as OLEDsand OPVs. He authored and co-authored over 330 papers and granted more than 60 patents.He is a member of Korean Academy of Science and Technology (KAST) and had servedas an Editor of Organic Electronics. He received many awards, including “TheOrder of Science and Technology Merit of the Republic of Korea, Changjo (Creation)”(The highest-level Order in Korea) in 2019, Sudang Award from Samyang GroupSudang Foundation in 2021,   Dukmyuong-KASTEngineering Awards from KASTin 2013, Excellence in Research Awards from Seoul National University in 2017.
