Yong-Hyun Kim - Research Scientist
Dr. Yong-Hyun Kim joined the Computational Materials Science Group at NREL as a postdoctoral research fellow in March 2003. He received his B.S. (1997), M.S. (1999), and Ph. D. (2003) from the Department of Physics, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), under the guidance of Prof. Kee Joo Chang. He specializes in first-principles density-functional calculations of carbon nanostructures such as fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. He also developed computational codes and algorithms for conductance calculations and action-derived molecular dynamics.
Dr. Kim's current research projects involve interaction between carbon nanotubes and semiconductor surfaces or semiconductor quantum dots, novel phases of carbon, and hydrogen storage problems in carbon nanostructures. His current research interests are carbon nanotubes, semiconductor surfaces, and quantum dots.
