Biography
Dr. Gyeong S. Hwang is a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He holds the Lyondell Endowed Faculty Fellowship in Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering (with M.S. in Applied Physics) from California Institute of Technology in 1999. Prior to joining the faculty of UT-Austin in Summer 2001, he was the F.M. Becket Fellow of the Electrochemical Society at the Max Planck Institute, Stuttgart, in Germany, and a research staff at the Materials Process and Simulation Center of California Institute of Technology. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed journal articles, and has been granted 4 US patents. He has received several awards and fellowships including: Lyondell Endowed Faculty Fellowship in Engineering (2007, UT-Austin), Myron L. Begeman Fellowship in Engineering (2005, UT-Austin); Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award (2005, NSF); and F.M. Becket Memorial Award (1999, ECS).
Research Interest
His current research has a well-balanced emphasis on fundamentals and applications, ranging from first principles studies of surface chemistry, bulk dynamics and interfacial interactions to multiscale, multiphysics modeling of engineering problems encountered in the fabrication of nanoscale electronic, photonic and energy devices.
