Sangho Chung
School of Energy and Chemical Engineering
Prof. dr. Sangho Chung is an Assistant Professor in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Korea University, where he focused on the design of nanostructured catalysts. He then carried out postdoctoral research at Utrecht University and the University of Amsterdam, specializing in in situ and operando techniques for heterogeneous catalysis. Prior to joining UNIST, he worked as a Research Scientist at KAUST, collaborating with leading partners across academia and industry.
At UNIST, Dr. Chung leads the Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Laboratory (C&RE Lab), where we develop advanced catalysts and spectroscopic platforms to address urgent challenges in energy conversion and environmental sustainability. Bridging molecular-level understanding with systems-level innovation, our group welcomes motivated researchers eager to push the frontiers of catalysis and chemical engineering.
