이상헌 프로필 사진 
I am an educator and researcher whose foremost educational goal is to cultivate global, world-class talent in the field of Chemical and New Materials Engineering. I continuously develop and apply innovative educational and research methodologies to proactively integrate cutting-edge academic research into the classroom. Through this dedication, I strive to help students grow into core talent equipped with the creative thinking and practical competencies needed to lead future advanced industries.

In the Quantum Chemical Engineering Laboratory I operate, we fundamentally understand the operating principles of advanced materials used in energy storage systems and semiconductor chemical processes through chemical reaction simulation and computational chemistry, and we develop customized theories to support this understanding.

In particular, utilizing computational chemistry based on Ab initio thermodynamics and kinetics and multiscale computer simulations as our primary research methodology, we have achieved the following innovative academic results:

Energy Materials: Established core theories in next-generation energy materials, including elucidating the ion conduction mechanism of polymer solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries, and developing specialized theories to enhance the performance of silicon-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries.

Semiconductor Processes and New Materials: Elucidated the defect growth mechanism after the semiconductor silicon ion implantation process, identified the film growth mechanism of InGaN compounds necessary for green LED development, and developed a Monte Carlo simulator for determining the special structures of amorphous materials.

Based on this active academic research and deep specialized knowledge, I provide students with ample learning opportunities to experience cutting-edge research through theory, simulation, experimentation, or the convergence of these methods. The curriculum in the Quantum Chemical Engineering Laboratory is designed to give students deep insights across various specialized research areas, including computational chemistry, energy materials, and semiconductor processes.

Ultimately, I am committed to guiding students to grow into convergent and creative professionals who can contribute to the development of leading technologies in advanced industrial fields through collaboration with industry, academic, and research experts.
