Intro. The combination of 3D chemistry-transport modeling with remote sensing data has provided a powerful scientific tool for the investigations of air quality (air pollution) and climate changes in the urban, regional, and global scales. At AIR lab., we study chemical and physical fates of atmospheric pollutants and climate changes due to the changes in the atmospheric composition, using various photochemical modeling tools, from 0-D Lagrangian box models (e.g., UBoM 2K8) to 3D Eulerian chemistry-transport models (e.g., US EPA Models-3/CMAQ model), as well as satellite/drone-derived gaseous and particulate data over Seoul, Korea, and East Asia. We also investigate atmospheric chemico-physical processes and their parameterizations for nucleation and heterogeneous chemistry on/in aerosol particles and cloud droplets, using the field measurement data and 0-D box models. Recently, AIR lab. is also interested in inverse modeling to estimate the air pollutants emissions over East Asia, and has focused on climatic issue. Particularly, aerosol optical properties are investigated, and the data are further improved using a data assimilation technique. Based on these studies, the direct radiative forcing by aerosols over East Asia is now investigated at AIR lab.

Intro.
  • Advanced Water Treatment Technologies and Environmental Sensing
    • Our laboratory has continued to advance remediation and water treatment technologies in the areas of sensing and separation of hazardous heavy metal and metalloid (e.g. arsenic, chromium, and uranium). Specifically, our group has developed and demonstrated novel, magnetic metal oxide nanocrystals (e.g. iron oxide (Fe3O4), manganese oxide (MnxOy), and manganese ferrite nanocrystals (MnzFe3-zO4)) of varying sizes, shapes, compositions, and tailored surface chemistries for optimized metal/metalloid adsorption, separation, and quantification, among other applications. Related to this research, our laboratory is also developing and evaluating similar materials for the separation of other inorganic pollutants and rare earth elements as part of reimagined water sensing/treatment technologies. In addition to particle-based separation technologies, our laboratory has also developed tunable, graphene-based nanocomposites as new, novel photocatalysts, which can be tailored for a range of aqueous-based applications, including selective (photo)redox chemistries. Further, our laboratory was focused on the design, development, and evaluation of highly selective and reactive (photocatalytic) nanoscale materials capable of sequestering and/or degrading contaminants in complicated (aqueous) matrixes.
  • Environmental Implication of Engineering Materials and Anthropogenic Particles
    • As industrial-scale manufacturing is now a reality for advanced, nanoscale materials, fundamental understanding of environmental chemistries and potential implications is necessary for an ultimately sustainable nanotechnology/nanomaterial industry. Within this framework, which continues to be refined, our laboratory made significant contributions towards fundamentally understanding the environmental chemistry of engineered carbon-based materials, surface stabilized advanced metal oxide nanoparticles, and anthropogenic particles (e.g. microplastic and nanoplastic).

Tel 062-715-3650
Intro. As an evolutionary ecologist, I am interested in exploring mechanisms of local adaptation and their ecological implications. Adaptation of natural populations and/or species lies at the heart of Darwin’s theory of natural selection and the generation of biological diversity. Interestingly, adaptation to past and current environmental conditions influences current population dynamics and thereby species range and abundance. In an era of enormous anthropogenic disturbance to environments, understanding the mechanisms of adaptation becomes an urgent task so that we may predict the effects of changing environments on population viability. For more complete understanding of adaptive mechanisms, we are taking diverse approaches including field work, physiological tests as well as tranxss-xss-scriptome analysis.

Intro. Our research goals in ATMOS Lab(Atmospheric Trace MOlecule Sensing Laboratory) are geared toward improving our understanding of regional and global tropospheric oxidation chemistry, and its relation to air quality and climate. Field measurements of trace molecules in the air, laboratory process studies, and simple computational modeling can help us to unravel important contemporary issues such as ozone, particle pollution and climate change.
We are thus interested in developing field deployable detection methods for atmospheric trace molecule based on spectroscopic and mass-spectrometric techniques. Specifically, we are interested in nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbon oxidation processes that results in organic aerosol formation. Both of the species act as catalysts or proxy for oxidation strength of the air for ozone production and as indicators related with ecosystem vitality.
Our current on-going projects are related with 1) developing instruments for gas and aerosol extinction measurements, 2) understanding the phase partitioning between gas and aerosol and 3) studying interactions across the interface between atmosphere and other ecosystems.
