Jinwoo Hwang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University. He joined OSU as an Assistant Professor in 2014 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2020. Prior to this, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of California Santa Barbara (2011-2014). His educational background includes a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2011), an M.S. from the University of Pennsylvania (2005), and a B.S. from Hongik University in Seoul, Korea (2002).
Professor Hwang's research focuses on developing advanced atomic-scale characterization techniques using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to investigate structure-property relationships in materials. His group specializes in fluctuation microscopy, electron nanodiffraction, and 4D-STEM combined with computational simulations. Major research areas include:
- Defect engineering in wide bandgap semiconductors
- Magnetic interface phenomena and property control
- Structural analysis of amorphous/glassy materials
- Nanoscale thermal transport mechanisms
- Phase transformations in functional oxides
His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate strong focus on oxide semiconductors (Ga2O3, LiGa5O8), battery materials degradation, metallic glasses characterization, and thin-film interface engineering. The work consistently applies advanced STEM techniques with growing integration of machine learning for materials analysis.
Professor Hwang leads the STEM Research Group at Ohio State, though no specific students, awards, or grants are detailed in the source materials. His laboratory develops novel microscopy methods to advance understanding of materials behavior at atomic scales.
