Graphene/2D Materials Research Center (GRC) at KAIST

Prof. Choi has contributed his efforts and passion towards forming an internationally recognized cross-disciplinary program that incorporates teaching and research in the area of graphene and applications devices. In this goal to build high-impact applications of graphene and 2D materials, he first made a considerable devotion to the establishment of Graphene/2D Materials Research Center (GRC) in 2012, with a founding goal to be a key research center of excellence in Korea as well as to be the global research hub in graphene and 2D materials research.

The research in GRC is focused on the novel synthesis methods for high-quality graphene and 2D materials, as well as the device applications of them for future information and energy technologies. This effort results in a successful convergence research program in the area of graphene and 2D materials in a short span of years.

By pursuing the world-class excellence through the cooperative research activities between outstanding research groups from different disciplines inside or outside of KAIST, I have a strong confidence that the Graphene/2D Materials Research Center will be a national and global research hub in graphene science and technology. I highly expect that the outcome of these efforts will greatly enhance the quality of life and improve national competence.

Center for Advanced Materials Discovery towards 3D Displays (CAMD³) at KAIST

In 2016, Prof. Choi successfully won a 6.5M$ research project funded by national research foundation (NRF), and established the Center for Advanced Materials Discovery towards 3D Displays. (CAMD³).

Established in 2016 Spring, the center for advanced materials discovery towards 3D Displays (CAMD³) aims to share visions and provide solutions to future display technology. Focused on laser-nanomaterials interaction, we are striving to discover noble materials of high-performance that can realize a new type of display composed of multi-stack of panels capable of producing realistic 3D images.

KAIST-Hansol Center for Advanced Materials and Devices

In 2022, Prof. Choi won a 1M$ research project and established the KAIST-Hansl Centor for Advanced Materials and Devices. Global trends in eco-friendly materials and low-energy based process technologied require precies prediction and design through nano-physical and multiphysics computational science.

KAIST-Hansl Centor for Advanced Materials and Devices, through research cooperation between KAIST and Hansol, the establishment of this research center is promoted to create a new industry through the achievement of technological innovation for materials and parts through the development of systems and precision processes for the application of eco-friendly and bio-materials and energy saving.
