Senior🎓
Top SchoolYoung-woon Byeon is a Senior Research Scientist based in Seoul with 8 years of expertise in advanced electron microscopy and battery materials, holding a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Korea University. He has led correlative analyses of air-sensitive electrode materials and developed airtight transfer systems, enabling high-fidelity TEM studies of sodiation and SEI formation in next-generation batteries. At Berkeley Lab he optimized cathode–solid electrolyte interfaces for all-solid-state Li-metal cells and developed high-performance oxides for PEM fuel cells, combining fundamental insight with application-driven materials design. His work uniquely blends in situ TEM observation skills with synthesis and multi-technique characterization (XRD, XPS, SEM, EDS, EELS, APT), making him adept at translating nanoscale phenomena into practical improvements for energy storage devices.
