Professor Woo-Jae Kim is a faculty member in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at Ewha Womans University and serves as the Director of the Korea–EU Global Hydrogen Research Exchange and Advanced Talent Training Program. His research focuses on the development of low-dimensional nanomaterials—such as catalysts and carbon nanotubes—and their applications in renewable energy production, battery materials, and bio-nanotechnology. He is an expert in tailoring electronic and/or geometric structures of nanomaterials using surface reaction engineering scheme and have utilized the surface engineered nanomaterials to Energy, Biomedical, Nanoelectronics Applications. He is also actively working on the development of reforming catalysts capable of producing hydrogen from various renewable energy sources (biomass, food waste, used plastic) for the upcoming hydrogen energy era. In 2022, he became a director of the research center for low-carbon and green energy chemical processes of Ewha Womans University and led innovative and converged research on Carbon Neutrality.
