Congratulations, Nidhi! Well-deserved!

Dohyung organized the Catalysis at Solid Liquid Interfaces symposium at the ACS Fall 2025, with co-organizers Jason Bates, Ian McCrum, and Joy Zeng. A great success and thanks to all the speakers and participants! Dohyung also presented the group’s work on the interplay between interfacial liquids and catalyst surfaces for electrochemical reactions.

Congratulations to Rani and co-authors on publishing a significant contribution revealing how hydrophobic cation additives enhance electrochemical reactions on the surface of metal electrodes.

Congratulations to both! Look forward to your exciting research developments!

to present the group’s efforts on the modification of interfacial liquids using hydrophobic additives for electrochemistry.

Kim Lab welcomes new PhD students Cole (NSF Graduate Research Fellow) and Anuj to the team. Look forward to all the exciting work together!

We examine emerging methodologies and future strategies to elucidate the intricate behavior and dynamic properties of interfacial liquids in electrochemical systems.

Dohyung was awarded the KSEA Young Investigator Award, designed to recognize individuals who have demonstrated outstanding early career development in science, engineering, and/or technology, and the highest recognition for young professionals by the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA).

Dohyung organized the Catalysis at Solid Liquid Interfaces symposium at the ACS Fall 2024, with other co-chairs Joaquin Resasco (UT Austin), Ian McCrum (Clarkson), and Jason Bates (University of Virginia). A great success and thanks to all the speakers and participants!

Congratulations, Rani! Well-deserved!

Kim Lab welcomes new members Leo (Vagelos Postdoctoral Fellow, co-advised with Dr. Karen Goldberg) and Fatou (Visiting scholar, LRSM) to the team. Look forward to all the exciting work together!

Dohyung was awarded the Unilever Award for Outstanding Young Investigator in Colloid & Surfactant Science from the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry of the American Chemical Society for his pioneering contributions to understanding the intricate dynamics of nanoparticle surfaces and interfaces in electrochemical environments and its profound influence on reactions of renewable carbons. He gave an award talk at the 98th ACS Colloid and Surface Science Symposium held at the University of Washington.

Congratulations to both! Look forward to your exciting research developments!

Andrew was selected as the Outstanding Research Award recipient among this year’s graduating class of master’s students in Penn Engineering!

Dohyung was recognized as one of the rising stars in nanoscience and nanotechnology research!
