Jung Hwa Seo
- Professor
- University of Seoul, South Korea
Dr. Seo obtained her Diploma (Magna Cum Laude) in Physics from the Dong-A University in 2001. She started her research in the laboratory of Professor Chung Nam Whang at the Yonsei University and received Ph.D. degree in Physics in 2007. Dr. Seo joined the reserach groups of Professor Guillermo C. Bazan, Thuc-Quyen Nguyen and Alan J. Heeger (Nobel Laureate) in the CPOS (Center for Polymers and Organic Solids) at the University California Santa Barbara as a post-doctoral researcher. From 2011 to 2022, she worked the Dong-A University as an assistant and associate professor in the Department of Materials Physics. Dr. Seo is currently a full professor in the Department of Physics at University of Seoul. Her research focuses on the fabrication of organic electronic devices and the studies of their electronic properties. The devices of current interest are organic and perovskite solar cells, organic field-effect transistors, organic light emitting devices, sensors and synaptic electronic devices.
