Developing biomimetics to produce value-added products

Young Hyun Hong received her BS and PhD degrees from the Department of Chemistry and Nano Science at Ewha Womans University, Republic of Korea, under the supervision of Profs. Wonwoo Nam and Shunichi Fukuzumi. She is currently a post-doctoral fellow at Yale University under the supervision of Prof. Nilay Hazari. During her PhD studies, she focused on the development of functional models of photosystems that are relevant to photocatalytic water splitting and NAD(P)H production at the molecular level. She is now working on the development of heterogeneous hybrid materials with homogeneous transition-metal catalysts for CO2 reduction in photoelectrochemistry.
