Mincheol received his Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Korea University in 2019 and 2021, respectively. His graduate research at Korea University involved self-assembly of block copolymers for block copolymer nanolithography under the guidance of Professor Joona Bang. Mincheol joined PME at the University of Chicago in Sep. 2021 as a Ph.D. student and currently works under the supervision of Prof. Shrayesh Patel and Prof. Paul Nealey.
Mincheol's research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured ion-conducting polymers for electrochemical applications.
