1993 Visiting Scientist, Japan Advanced Inst. of Sci. & Tech.
1994-present Professor, Department of Chemistry, KAIST

Macromolecular Synthesis Laboratory was established on 1994 and it consists 7 Ph.D candidates and 5 M.S candidates now.Current research field of us is synthesis of functionalized single macromolecules, controlled polymerizations and self-assembled polymeric materials. It was appointed as National Research Laboratory (NRL) on 2008 and we are managing various projects such as NRL, advanced polyolefin R&D and excellent research center (ERC). Moreover, cozy atmosphere due to an attentive professor and pleasant students is one of the biggest merits of our lab.
