2027 Invited Speakers

Prof. Jiwoong Yang

Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology (DGIST), South Korea

Prof. Jiwoong Yang received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Seoul National University in 2011 and 2016, respectively. He subsequently worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he studied in situ liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy. In 2019, he joined the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), where he is currently an associate professor. His research focuses on the synthesis, transformation mechanisms, and surface chemistry of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, as well as their integration into advanced optoelectronic and energy devices. He also employs in situ electron microscopy and X-ray scattering to elucidate the formation and degradation mechanisms of nanomaterials. As a corresponding author, he has published research articles in journals including Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Electronics, Nature Photonics, Advanced Materials, Matter, and ACS Nano.
