Yeom Han-woong (born 5 December 1966) is a South Korean physicist. A tenured professor at POSTECH, he has led several research centers for the university and from 2013 in collaboration with the Institute for Basic Science. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and has served as vice chairman of the Korean government's first science and technology advisory group[1] for three consecutive terms.[2] With more than 300 publications to his name, his research has been cited over 5,000 times giving him an h-index of 40 and i10-index of 125.[3]

Career

He was born in Seoul, and studied physics as an undergraduate at Seoul National University before going on to Tohoku University in Japan as a doctoral student. Thereafter he was a research associate at the Department of Chemistry, University of Tokyo (1996–2000). He then returned to his native South Korea, where he was an assistant/associate professor at the Department of Physics, Yonsei University (2000–2009), and then a full professor (2009–2010). During his time at Yonsei, he was part of a research team that developed a semiconductor nanometer wire with a thickness of 1 to 3 atoms.[4][5]

Afterwards he moved to the Department of Physics, POSTECH (2010–present), where he served as director of Center for Atomic Wires and Layers (2003–2012), director of Center for Low Dimensional Electronic Symmetries (2012–2013), and founding director of Center for Artificial Low Dimensional Electronic Systems, Institute for Basic Science (2013–present).[6][7]
