Background:

I joined the Dordick lab in March 2020, right after I finished my Ph.D degree in Korea. My previous work focused on the enzyme immobilization and stabilization via nanobiocatalytic approaches with various kinds of nanostructured materials such as carbon nanotubes and mesoporous materials. I applied these nanobiocatalytic materials for the enzymatic microbial decontamination such as antifouling and biocidal approach, as well as glucose oxidase-based biofuel cell application and enzymatic CO2 conversion and utilization (CCU).

Education:

2020, Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering, Korea University, Republic of Korea (Prof. Jungbae Kim)

Dissertation: Development of Nanobiocatalytic Materials using Glucose Oxidase for Biofuel Cell and Antibacterial Applications

2010, B.S. in Chemical and Biological Engineering, Korea University, Republic of Korea (Prof. Jungbae Kim) 

Research Interests:

My current research focuses on the cell wall binding domain (CBD) study for the detection of pathogenic bacteria. I have designed and constructed the recombinant CBD proteins fused with binder molecule and/or fluorescent protein and applied them to the spectroscopy-based and paper-based detection platforms suitable for target bacterial detection. I am also interested in CRISPR-based detection of target proteins.
