Presentation

Dong Un Lim received his PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Yonsei University, South Korea, in 2023. His doctoral research focused on vertical transistors and organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), where he studied charge transport and interface phenomena in heterojunctions composed of two-dimensional materials, metal oxides, and organic semiconductors. He investigated how the combination of these materials gives rise to unique electrical behaviors, and applied these findings to a range of device concepts including logic circuits, photonic devices, and bioinspired neuromorphic systems.

He earned his MSc in Nanoscience and Technology (2019) and his BSc in Chemical Engineering (2017) from Sungkyunkwan University. During his master’s studies, he developed printed electronic devices using solution-processable semiconductors and electrodes, gaining experience in large-area fabrication and materials integration.

Following his PhD, he worked at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) as a researcher fulfilling his alternative military service, where he synthesized hydrocarbon-based polymer electrolytes for hydrogen energy membranes.

In 2025, he joined Professor Eleni Stavrinidou’s group at Linköping University as a postdoctoral researcher. His current research focuses on developing soft organic materials and interfaces for plant bioelectronic applications for precision agriculture.
