Jong-Guk Ahn

I double-majored in Physics and Chemistry, and I strive to explain complex concepts in simple terms for other person. I figured out the essence of physics lies not only in its beautiful principles, but also in problem identification and logical thinking. So, I constantly seek out issues in my surrondings and try to make it better.

Currently, I'm studying the various properties of two-dimensional materials through denstiy functional theory (DFT) calculation using Linux-based parallel computing (UoU Arachi & RIKEN Hokusai server). I have also studied surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) using hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and Au nanoparticles. And I plan to integrate machine learning technique with my domain knowledge in the near future. (Lab. homapage )

My interests extend beyond science, I'm passionate about design tools, performing magic, coding, cooking, video editing, playing the instruments. If you have any questions or would like to share your story, feel free to e-mail me (jongguk.ahn@gmail.com). All topics are welcome!
