Dr. Jung-Hoon Lee received his B.Sc. (2006) and M.Phil. (2008) in Chemistry from the Catholic University of Korea. He obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, Seoul National University (2010-2014). In Ph.D. research, he studied new synthetic methods and surface-enhanced Raman scattering for various plasmonic nanostructures to utilize them for nano-bio applications under the supervision of Prof. Jwa-Min Nam. He then moved to the United States for his postdoctoral research and worked with Prof. Yossi Weizmann at the Department of Chemistry, University of Chicago, where he initiated photothermal-based nucleic acid amplification methods for real-time bioassays using plasmonic nanomaterials (2014-2017). He subsequently moved to the Department of Otolaryngology, University of California, San Francisco and studied the protein-protein interactions using plasmonic magnetic nanomaterials under the supervision of Prof. Young-Wook Jun (2017). He joined the City University of Hong Kong as an Assistant Professor in May 2018.
The ability to control
the physical properties of plasmonic nanoparticles
allows us to produce materials with specific
optical, magnetical, and electrical properties.
Considerable progress has been made in synthesizing
plasmonic nanoparticles possessing fascinating
optical properties, however, it is still highly
challenging to precisely and reproducibly synthesize
and assemble them into well defined structures at
nanometer scale, which make them ideal platforms for
various biomedical applications. Dr. Lee`s research
aim is to develop and design new plasmonic
nanomaterials and understand a synthetic mechanism
and property of them, but also to find applied
research fields for synthesized materials. His
current research interests include:
- Development of new synthetic methods of
plasmonic nanomaterials with multi-function for
biomedical applications
