Senior🎓
Top SchoolTaekeun Kim is an assistant professor and chemical engineer with 13+ years of R&D experience across academia, national lab, and industry, specializing in fuel cell and lithium-ion battery materials and reactor development. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of South Carolina and progressed from Samsung SDI researcher—where he improved Li4Ti5O12 and LiFePO4 for high-power EV applications and developed 200 We steam reforming reactors—to postdoctoral work at PNNL on durable catalyst supports for PEM fuel cells. His research blends materials synthesis, electrode engineering, and kinetic/reactor optimization to deliver measurable performance and durability gains in MEAs and fuel processors. Now leading research and teaching at Chungnam National University, he brings both hands-on industrial scale-up know-how and deep mechanistic insight, with a track record of translating lab innovations into practical energy devices. An underrated strength is his cross-domain fluency—bridging catalysis, electrochemistry, and reactor engineering—to solve system-level problems in clean energy technologies.
