Dr. Soohyung Park is a research team leader on "Advanced Photoemission Spectroscopy for Nano-materials and Electronic structure (APS-NE)" at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), Advanced Analysis Center (AAC). He received his Ph. D. degree in physics from Yonsei University (Korea) in 2017 under the supervision of Prof. Yeonjin Yi. During his doctorate studies, he studied ultraviolet/X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for molecular semiconductors and perovskite photovoltaics. In 2014, he was awarded a research scholarship from Samsung Display Co., Ltd and was awarded the Brain Korea 21 Scholarship. He then moved to Berlin (Germany) the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt University as a post-doc researcher under the supervision of Prof. Norbert Koch. During the same year, he was awarded a Research Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt foundation. In his post-doc period, he began working with the electronic structure of two-dimensional materials and their interfaces. Beginning in 2019, he has moved into a tenure-track position as a junior research team leader at KIST AAC in Seoul, Korea. Since 2022, he has served as an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology (UST). In 2024, he was promoted to principal research scientist.
