Eunkyoung Kim is a South Korean materials chemist who is a professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Yonsei University. Her research considers functional polymers, including electro- and photo-chromic materials and bioelectronic materials. She was made a member of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea in 2016.

Early life and education[edit]

Kim studied chemistry at Yonsei University.[1] After earning her undergraduate degree, she moved to the Korea Institute of Science and Technology as a research scientist. She went to Seoul National University for her master's degree, and the University of Houston for her doctorate.[1] Her doctoral research considered the development of arene-based charge transfer complexes.[2] Kim then spent two years as an assistant professor at the University of Houston.[citation needed]

Research and career[edit]

Kim joined the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology in 1992, were she worked as a Principal Research Scientist and Chair of Advanced Materials[citation needed]. She moved to Yonsei University in 2004. Her research considers the development of polymer materials for electro- and photo-chromic materials.[3] In 2018 Kim was made Chair of the American Chemical Society Korean chapter.[1]
