Kwang Heo

Kwang Heo is an Associate Professor at Sejong University in the Department of Nano Technology and Advanced Materials Engineering, with affiliations to the Hybrid Materials Research Center. His academic journey includes postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2011–2015), followed by faculty roles at Sejong University since 2015.

• Education: B.A. (2005) and Ph.D. (2011) from Seoul National University

His research focuses on organic/inorganic patterning, self-assembly, biosensors, selective area deposition, biopiezoelectric devices, and biocompatible electronics. Recent work emphasizes triboelectric nanogenerators, perovskite solar cells, and metal-halide photodetectors with hierarchical hybrid architectures. Key themes include surface engineering, energy harvesting, and biomedical applications.

Selected trends in recent publications (2018–2025):

• Development of biodegradable energy devices using hyaluronic acid hydrogels
• Nanostructuring techniques for enhanced solar cell efficiency
• Bio-inspired materials like peptide nanowires and bacteriophage templates
• Stability improvements in perovskite-based optoelectronic systems
