Biography
Sung Jae Kim received the B.S. degree in the department
of Chemical Engineering of Pohang University of Science and
Technology, Pohang, Korea, in 1998. He received the M.S. degree
in Chemical Engineering from the same department in 2000.
He received his Ph.D. from the department of Chemical Engineering
and the division of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering,
same university in 2005. Before joining MIT as a postdoctoral
associate in December 2005, he was a research scientist at
Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, Korea. In 2010, he is working as Research Scientist at the same group in MIT.
Research Projects
Many discoveries in nanoscale science and engineering have been driven in large part by tools which now enable the characterization of fluids inside the nanoscale structure. We must now revolutionize nanofluidic system as a tool for environment, energy and bio-applications, and with this develop a deeper understanding of the underlying fundamental nanoscale science and electrokinetics. The objective is to use the micro/nano hybrid device as a model system for characterizing nonlinear electrokinetics and related phenomena including ion concentration polarization (ICP), and to develop novel engineering devices for seawater desalination, fuel cell and bio-sensing applications. The micro/nanofluidic system developed is ideally suited to track concentration, flow, and electric field simultaneously, in situ, providing valuable scientific data for this complex, coupled transport behavior. Such data have never been obtained previously, while it would be crucial in studying the ICP phenomena in microscopic detail. At the same time, ICP and related enhanced electrokinetic flow have potentials to be used for developing novel biosample concentrators and water purification / desalination devices.
