Won Chul Lee

Won Chul Lee received his BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 1999 and 2001. He obtained his PhD degree in Bioengineering at KAIST in 2006, working in the field of microfluidics and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems). From 2006, he started his postdoctoral position co-affiliated in the University of California at Berkeley and Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute. During this postdoctoral training period, he founded a venture company (E&M Devices, Inc.) and worked as a CEO, developing a microchip technology for high-throughput single cell analysis. In 2012, he moved to the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo, working as a project assistant professor. In 2015, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Hanyang University ERICA Campus as an associate professor, and is currently working in the same department as a professor. Here are his major publications, which show his research fields and interests:
- Jeon, et al., Reversible disorder-order transitions in atomic crystal nucleation, Science 2021.
- Lim, et al., A large‐scale array of ordered graphene‐sandwiched chambers for quantitative liquid‐phase transmission electron microscopy, Advanced Materials 2020.
- Lee, et al., Graphene-templated directional growth of an inorganic nanowire, Nature Nanotechnology 2015.
