I am Professor of Physics and Information Display at Kyung Hee University (KHU). I am also serving as Director of the Research Institute for Basic Sciences. Using various theoretical and computational methods, I am working on the fundamental properties of various materials including nanostructured materials, surfaces, and crystals. I am also designing potential applications based on computational modeling and simulations.
