Dr. Kim is an Associate Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at the Oklahoma State University (OSU). He has the expertise in fabrication and characterization of organic electronic devices (OLED and Organic photovoltaic cell) as well as inorganic electronic devices (poly-Si TFT and colloidal PbS nanocrystal photodetector). Prior to joining the OSU he was a Research Scientist at the University of Florida (2009-2015) where he invented a low-cost infrared-sensitive organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology that can be fabricated into infrared imaging sensors. He is a co-founder and a Scientific Advisor of three startup companies – Ghost Display Technologies, LLC, NIRVision, LLC, and nVerPix, LLC. He also worked as a research scientist at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), South Korea (2002-2006). Dr. Kim received his PhD from the Department of MSE at the University of Florida in 2009. He also received his B.S. degree (1999) and M.S. degree (2002) in physics from Kyung Hee University, South Korea. His research interests are in halide perovskites, organic semiconductors, and their use in optoelectronics, nanoelectronics, and energy/bio applications. Dr. Kim has 49 publications, 24 issued patents, another 31 patent applications pending and 112 conference presentations.
