Nosang Myung
Assistant Professor,
Chemical & Environmental Engineering
Professor Nosang Myung received his B.S. M.S. and Ph. D. Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1994, 1997, and 1998, respectively. He spent three years as a research engineer at the same institution. In 2001-2003, he joined MEMS group at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as a member of engineering staff.
RESEARCH TOPICS
Nanotechnology and nano- and micro-electromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) are rapidly evolving areas of science and engineering that hold the promise of creating new techniques to manufacture devices and develop advanced information technology. It is fundamentally changing the way materials and devices will be produced and it will be central to the next epoch of the information age. At present, we perceive only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the benefits that nanostructuring can bring. My research interests include electrochemical nano systems (ENS) and advanced materials and process development for NEMS/MEMS including bio-MEMS. My research objective is to control nanoscale sized features to enhance material properties and device functions beyond those that we currently know. The ability to develop and to engineer materials at the nanoscale level and to apply their unique properties into nano or microelectromechanical systems will have great impact on technology, industry and commerce. Future advances in chemical and materials engineering such as catalysis, advanced materials, and separations will require nanometer-scaled engineering.
My research at UCLA and JPL demonstrated that electrochemical processing is a cost effective technology to produce nano-scale building blocks with precisely controlled size and composition and then assemble into structures with unique properties and functions.
Specific areas of my research include 1) bio/nano electrochemical sensors, 2) nanoelectronics, 3) high efficient portable power sources including microfabricated direct methanol fuel cells (m-DMFC) and micro-batteries, 4) nano-engineered advanced materials including thermoelectric materials, battery and supercapcitor electrodes, 5) materials and process development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), 6) microreactor and 7) high performance nanostructured magnetic materials.
