Build electrochemical insight together

Yoon Lab welcomes students and collaborators who want to connect electrochemical measurements with hidden interfacial processes, degradation, and corrosion.

Who we are looking for

Students interested in mechanisms, diagnostics, and materials

The lab is open to students from chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, energy engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and related fields. Prior electrochemistry experience is helpful but not required; curiosity, consistency, and willingness to learn are more important.

01

Graduate students

Prospective M.S., Ph.D., and integrated M.S.–Ph.D. students are encouraged to contact the lab if they are interested in batteries, electrochemical diagnostics, degradation, corrosion, polymer electrolytes, or solid-state electrochemistry.

02

Undergraduate researchers

Undergraduate students can participate in literature review, electrode and electrolyte experiments, electrochemical measurements, data analysis, and research presentations.

03

Collaborators

We are interested in collaborations involving electrochemical characterization, impedance analysis, degradation diagnosis, corrosion, and energy-device interfaces.

Research fit

Topics that fit the lab

Applicants do not need to match one topic exactly. A good fit is an interest in using electrochemical signals and materials characterization to answer mechanistic questions.

Electrochemical interfaces and degradation
Battery corrosion and current-collector failure
EIS, DRT, PITT/GITT, QCM, RRDE, and transient analysis
Solid-state and polymer electrolytes
Aqueous and non-aqueous energy-storage systems
Data-driven and model-informed electrochemical diagnostics

How to contact

  1. Prepare a short email. Briefly describe your background, research interests, and why you are interested in Yoon Lab.
  2. Attach basic materials. A CV or resume and a short description of your research interests, relevant coursework, or previous project experience are helpful.
  3. Send to the PI. Contact tyoon@khu.ac.kr with the subject line Prospective student inquiry.
Lab culture

What we value

We value careful experiments, honest interpretation, quantitative reasoning, clear writing, and steady progress. Students are encouraged to connect physical understanding with experimental evidence and to develop their own scientific questions.
