Clean energy generation & environmental materials
Although hydro-electric nano-technology is considered as a promising next-generation renewable energy because it can re-utilize various water resources for electricity production, it cannot be a fundamental solution for producing clean water. If hydro-electric nanogenerators can generate electricity while purifying natural water sources or even wastewater, a new alternative to eco-friendly renewable energy concept can be introduced in this way. Our research group aims to develop a novel and environmental energy generator with a purification function by employing rationally designed conductive soft/hard materials, and environmentally porous materials. Such a platform can be applied to sea water desalination, smart cloth, and bio-electronics.

Chemical sensors for environmental monitoring and healthcare
We are making efforts in our research team to develop a high-precision semiconductor-based chemical sensor. In pursuit of this goal, we are concurrently developing semiconductor material design, catalyst design, and molecular sieving filter membrane technologies. Through the integration with neuromorphic technology, we aim to develop a sensor capable of detecting even subtle signals. Through this, we are in the process of developing an electronic nose mimicking the human olfactory system. Such an electronic nose has various applications, including disease diagnosis and environmental monitoring.
Our research group is currently developing a bio-device that utilizes electrical stimulation systems to rapidly promote muscle cell growth or monitor blood vessels in the form of implants. To achieve this, we are innovating environmentally friendly and biocompatible conductive materials. We are validating the results of these electrical stimulation systems through animal experiments. These technologies hold the potential for future applications in muscle regeneration systems and may find utility in disease diagnosis and monitoring within the human body
