Dr. Yoo earned Ph. D. degree in 1991 in Inorganic Chemistry from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). He spent a year in 1993 as a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Pennsylvania. Currently, he is the principal research scientist of Materials Science & Technology Division and the director of Organosilicon Chemistry Laboratory in KIST. Research in his group focuses on the exploration of new synthetic methodologies for the construction of new organosilane molecules, polymers, and solid state compounds and studies of the properties, and their applications. Silicon element represents the second abundant element on earth and the ability of scientists to explore, understand, and exploit Si-based materials chemistry will have critical implications for developing the high technology industry.
