Dr. Baek Hyun Kim is a Sr. R&D Engineer, Device Team Leader at NanoPhotonica, where Kim is primarily responsible for developing/testing a long lifetime of devices with new nanomaterials/nanostructures and for tailoring carrier injection and and light extraction efficiencies of devices.
Kim received his BS from the Chungnam National University in Physics and Ph.D. from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Materials Science and Engineering in the South Korea, respectively. Kim was focused on the growth, device fabrication, and characterization of silicon quantum dot light emitting diodes in his dissertation. After receiving his Ph.D degree, Kim began his academic carrier as a postdoctoral research associate in the Carnegie Mellon University for studying on the next generation lithographic technology, RRAM using phase change materials, deep green GaN light emitting diodes using FRET, and GaN nanorod solar cells. In the University of Missouri, he developed high efficient nuclear batteries based on hybrid liquid-solid junctions, which was selected as a best invention of the University of Missouri in 2017. He developed many novel 1D and 2 D nanostructures and their devices (nanogenerators, solar cells, and hydrogen generators), and MEMS optofluidic biosensors and FBAR acoustic resonators. Before joining nanophotonica, he worked for the development of high efficient mid-infrared light emitting diodes in f/#=2 region from the University of Iowa. He began his carrier with NanoPhotonica where he contributes to the company’s development of Quantum dot LEDs and other next generation materials.
