People
Meet the researchers and students of the Advanced Electron Microscopy Laboratory.
Principal Investigator
변영운|Young-Woon Byeon
Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist at KIST
I lead the Advanced Electron Microscopy Laboratory (AEML) at the Advanced Analysis and Data Center, Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST).
I believe good research begins with good questions. Unexpected experimental results give us new questions to pursue. Understanding why observations differ from our expectations helps us build a deeper understanding of materials.
My research uses advanced electron microscopy to examine material structures and how they change, and to explain how these observations relate to material properties.

Postdoctoral Researchers
김창인|Changin Kim
Ph.D. in Chemistry · KAIST
Research Advanced 4D-STEM analysis
Interests Travel, running, tennis
Fun fact Stare into an electron microscope long enough, and you start to develop a 'third eye' — one that sees what was never visible before. 👁️

"Using cryo-4D-STEM/EELS-based advanced analysis techniques, I explore the interfacial degradation mechanisms of lithium-sulfide all-solid-state batteries."
Undergraduates
이도경|Lee Dogyeong
School of Materials Science and Engineering, Korea University
Research AI-based electron microscopy image analysis
Interests Solo trips to the cinema, listening to music, knitting
Fun fact I code by vibe and knit by feel. Sometimes, both need to be started over from scratch.
