Speaker: Yunho Lee, Seoul National University
Title: Bio-organometallic CO2 and NOx Conversion and Utilization
Prof. Yunho Lee obtained M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in inorganic chemistry from the Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore under the guidance of professor Kenneth D. Karlin. In the summer of 2007, he started his postdoctoral work in the laboratory of professor Jonas C. Peters at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology. In the winter of 2010, Yunho returned to Korea and started his independent career as an assistant professor at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). In spring 2020, he moved his research group to Seoul and currently he is a professor in the Department of Chemistry, Seoul National University. His primary research interest focuses on the small molecule activation inspired by the bioorganometallic chemistry of various metalloenzymes.
