Jung-Kun Lee’s current research interests include energy and/or electro-optical applications of nano-structured materials. Specific emphasis is placed on 1.) photovoltaic application of wide band-gap nano-particles, 2.) material processing of electronic materials in forms of nano-particles, bulk ceramics/crystals, and thin films, 3.) optical and magnetic properties of nano-particles, and 4.) the surface modification using ion implantation and chemical methods. Before joining the University of Pittsburgh, he also carried out the research on domain/strain engineering of ferroic materials and composite design of biomaterials.
