Postech Professor Recognized for Thesis
12/23/2010 - Postech Chemical Engineering Professor Cho Kilwon’s thesis related to high-performance organic thin-film transistors was chosen by Advanced Functional Materials, a globally renowned academic journal, as one of the top 10 most important theses it published in the past 10 years.
Postech Chemical Engineering Professor Cho Kilwon’s thesis was chosen by Advanced Functional Materials (AFM), a globally renowned academic journal, as one of the top 10 most important theses it published in the last 10 years.
His thesis, “Control of the Morphology and Structural Development of Solution-Processed Functionalized Acenes for High-Performance Organic Transistors,” was initially published in AFM in March 2009 and became the most downloaded thesis.
Kilwon’s research team defined the self-assembly attributes of organic transistor thin-film molecules and applied the results in developing high-performance organic thin-film transistors. The results were hailed as a breakthrough, Posco says, which limited performance and mass production due to uneven molecule patterns and arrangements.
Kilwon was also chosen by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology as the Scientist of the Month in April 2010. He has published approximately 70 papers regarding research on high molecular surface and organic electronics in international academic journals for the past three years.
