Eunkyoung Kim is a South Korean materials chemist who is a professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Yonsei University. Her research considers functional polymers, including electro- and photo-chromic materials and bioelectronic materials. She was made a member of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea in 2016.

Early life and education

Kim studied chemistry at Yonsei University graduating with a BS in 1982.[1] After earning her undergraduate degree, she moved to the Korea Institute of Science and Technology as a research scientist. She went to Seoul National University obtaining her master's degree in 1984, and the University of Houston for her doctorate which she completed in 1990.[1] Her doctoral research considered the development of arene-based charge transfer complexes.[2] Kim then spent two years as an assistant professor at the University of Houston.[3]

Research and career

Kim joined the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology in 1992, were she worked as a Principal Research Scientist and Chair of Advanced Materials.[3] She moved to Yonsei University in 2004. Her research considers the development of polymer materials for electro- and photo-chromic materials.[1] In 2006, she was one of the first to report an example of an electrofluorochromic (EFC) window.[4] EFC materials enhance electrochromic (EC) displays' applications in dark conditions and increase their potential for security, encryption, and analytical uses. She and her research group have improved EC/EFC materials by designing substituents to optimize EC bistability in order to prevent charge leakage and introducing TiO2 nanoparticles (TNP) as a transparent ion storage layer to lower power consumption.[4] In 2018 Kim was made Chair of the American Chemical Society Korean chapter.[1]
