Summary
Sangwook Park is a Principal Engineer based in Seoul with 8 years of experience translating advanced materials research into scalable semiconductor manufacturing processes. With a PhD in Chemistry from TU Dresden and roles spanning research labs and industry, he leads wet etch and dry CLN process development at Samsung, taking innovations from near-atomic characterization to high-volume production. His background includes hands-on TEM and synchrotron XRD work on 2D polymers and MOFs, plus earlier leadership in pilot-plant design and continuous processing for petroleum-derived carbon materials. Comfortable bridging academic rigor and factory priorities, he combines deep materials chemistry expertise with practical process engineering and team leadership. A less obvious strength is his track record in managing large collaborative grants and pilot-scale safety and operations, enabling reliable scale-up of novel chemistries.
