Jaeheon Lee

Chemical Engineering PhD Candidate at UC Berkeley

I completed my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering (Double Major) at POSTECH (Pohang, Republic of Korea) in 2019. At POSTECH, I did several projects related to ML and mechatronics. Additionally, in 2016, I was selected as a Research Officers for National Defense (ROND) - a professionalized officer which only about 25 talented sophomores are selected annually from across the country. After graduation, I served military service as a first lieutenant and a researcher in the Chem-Bio technology center at Agency for Defense Development(ADD) for 3 years. At ADD, my research was focused on two parts: 1. Develop porous materials and membranes for adsorbing and decomposing hazardous materials. 2. Optimizing gas flow structure using numerical and computational study.

Discharged from the military, I am now a Ph.D. Candidate in Chemical engineering at UC Berkeley (Berkeley, CA, USA) since 2022. I am currently focusing on the Electrochemistry of Solid-state Li-metal batteries.
