About Dr. Jong Bin Kim
Hello. I am Jong Bin Kim, currently working as a post-doctoral researcher in Prof. Shu Yang's group at the University of Pennsylvania. My research ranges from investigating the intricate interplay of optical phenomena to exploiting soft materials. Additionally, my work encompasses the exploration and development of advanced manufacturing strategies tailored to this research domain, including photolithographic methods, 3D printing techniques, and the application of microfluidics. During my PhD studies, I specialized in composite materials comprising colloidal particles and polymers, particularly for the development of photonic crystals exhibiting structural colors and metasurfaces featuring plasmonic colors. Currently, my focus lies in elastomers, encompassing liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), cholesteric LCEs (CLCEs), and photocurable silicone rubber, utilized across mechanical, optical, and medical applications.
