교원소개

첨단재료설계연구실(Advanced Materials Design Laboratory, AMDL)은 에너지소재(연료전지소재, 이차전지소재), 극한소재(국방소재) 및 친환경소재(자동차내장소재)의 핵심소재를 연구하고 있습니다. 특히 원자∙분자단위 전산설계 및 기계학습을 이용한 데이터 기반 신소재 연구 및 공정 최적화를 함께 도모하고 있습니다.

The Advanced Materials Design Laboratory (AMDL) focuses on researching core materials in energy materials (fuel cell materials, secondary battery materials), extreme materials (defense materials), and eco-friendly materials (automotive interior materials). Specifically, we aim to promote the development of advanced material research and process optimization using atomic and molecular-level computational design and machine learning techniques.
