Euijin is passionate about discovering new perspectives, not only in research but also in is everyday life. Mirroring this passion is his hobby in photography, where he discovers beauty from ordinary scenes by reconstructing them through original compositions and colors. Just like how his photographs stem from careful observations out of the ordinary, Euijin is convinced that carefully understanding a wide range of fields would eventually lead to discovering unique connections and innovative perspectives. Euijin is working on measuring ion-electron coupling in mixed conductors. Euijin is also making a new type of semiconductor device based on interfacial coupling.

Camille began pursuing science because of her hunger to understand the world. After discovering the world of Li-ion batteries in high school, Camille pursued this interest until now, including an internship on spray-coating hybrid batteries. Camille is also interested in polymers and aims to continue combining these fields in research. Beyond academics, Camille is a nature lover. Hiking, sleeping, and spending time in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful scenery and close people, is what Camille would call a perfect weekend. Camille likes to challenge herself and get out of her comfort zone; it has brought her to Seoul National University, 9,000 km away from homeland, France.
