Kim Laboratory of Electrochemistry and Interfaces at the Nanoscale
At Kim Lab
We value the insights gained from studying surfaces and interfaces in nanoscale materials and develop innovative electrochemical technologies that can transform the energy, fuel, chemical, and materials sectors.
Announcements
Graduate students and postdocs interested in joining the team should reach out to the principal investigator at dohyungk@seas.upenn.edu
The group is seeking postdoctoral candidates with expertise in high-resolution surface characterization of materials, such as advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques.
