Myunghwa Kim, professor of chemistry and nano science at the College of Natural Sciences, was selected for the Rising Ewha Fellowship for the school year of 2020.
Professor Myunghwa Kim has focused on research in the field of physics and chemistry since he took office in 2009. Notably, he has been conducting dynamic research on controlling metal oxide low-dimensional nano-structure with various composition and the evaluation of their electrochemical catalyst characteristics as well as the hybrid structural reaction of organic-inorganic compounds. He also carried out a study titled "Efficient Catalyst Development for Clean Energy Source Development and Investigation of Physical Chemical Electronic Transfer Response Mechanism" with the support of the New and Renewable Energy Research Center, which was selected as a university-focused research center in 2018. Last year, he published a research paper in Nano Letters which is considered as one of the best journals in the field of nanotechnology. His paper demonstrated millimeter-sized VO2 strain sensors using developed nanowire alignment technology.
Upon being selected as the Rising Ewha Fellowship, professor Myunghwa Kim, who was selected as the professor with the highest research performance at Ewha in 2019, thanked the fellow professors and students he had worked with and expressed his ambition to focus more on education and research in the future.
Rising Ewha Fellowship awards grant for 3 years, encouraging research and other academic activities. Assistant or associate professors who have at least 5 years of tenure at Ewha are eligible and professors with outstanding research results who have published several international A-ranking (humanities and social science) or international special A-ranking (natural science) papers in the last 5 years are given the grant.
