HYUNWOO KIM GROUP AT KAIST CHEMISTRY
Catalysis and Bioanalysis Research Lab
Welcome to Hyunwoo Kim Group at KAIST Chemistry
Our research focuses on creating new organic compounds by combining different areas of chemistry: physical organic, organometallic, and computational chemistry. We aim to design small organic compounds that can be used to develop highly selective and efficient new catalysts. Additionally, we are interested in creating chiral sensors and bioanalytical methods that are valuable in medical science.
