Yongho Seo

Yongho Seo serves as Professor in the Department of Nano Technology and Advanced Materials Engineering at Sejong University, South Korea, and is affiliated with the Hybrid Materials Research Center. His 19-year academic career at the institution progressed from Assistant Professor (2006-2010) to Associate Professor (2010-2016) before attaining full Professorship in 2016.

His academic foundation includes:

• Ph.D. from Seoul National University (2000)
• M.S. from Sogang University (1995)
• B.S. from Sogang University (1993)

Professor Seo's research centers on nanomaterial-based nanotechnology, 2D material nanodevices, nanoscale characterization, and scanning probe microscopy. His landmark achievements include developing graphene-silicon Schottky junction solar cells, optimizing piezoelectric polymer films with graphene electrodes, and pioneering three-dimensional atomic force microscopy techniques. The fingerprint analysis of his 183 publications reveals dominant expertise in graphene (100%), films (55%), carbon nanotubes (50%), and atomic force microscopy (28%).

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a concentrated focus on MXene-based energy storage systems and graphene applications in nanoelectronics, with significant contributions to thermal noise rectification, vacuum-assisted exfoliation methods, and MoS₂ lithography optimization. His work consistently bridges theoretical modeling with experimental validation in 2D material systems.

No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials.
