Yonguk has been a Postdoctoral Fellow of Prof. Menachem Elimelech’s group since August 2021 at Yale University. He is currently working as a Postdoc researcher in an electrosorption technology project for selective deionization at Yale.

He obtained his Ph.D. degree at Korea University. His fields of research are (i) investigation of mechanisms for electrochemical advanced oxidation processes, (ii) fabrication of potent electro-catalysts and (iii) electrochemistry-based remediation system (especially the novel flow-electrode capacitive deionization process). Further, he got his master degree at Yonsei University where he worked on removal efficiency of nitrate in groundwater using hollow-fiber membrane biofilm reactor. He received his bachelor degree from Chung-Ang University in South Korea.

Outsides the lab, Yonguk spends much of night time with his family by zoom, as they are now staying in Korea, and he also enjoys K-POP, exercise, especially running, traveling, and watching Netflix.
