Samuel was born in Texas and raised in South Korea. He graduated Sogang University with B.S. in Chemistry (Summa Cum Laude) in 2011. He also spent a year during his undergraduate at University of Texas at Austin working with Prof. Adam Heller to develop an electroososmotic pump for drug infusion systems. He joined graduate program at Seoul National University and first worked on the synthesis and application of semiconductor nanocrystals with Prof. Jin-Kyu Lee before joining Prof. Taek Dong Chung in 2015. In the Chung group, he sought fundamentals of electrochemistry and electrochemical reactions feasible on silicon oxide dielectric layer. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2020 and continued his first postdoc in the same group until 2022 to work on designing electroanalytical methods complementary for organic electrosynthesis. Then, he moved to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for his second postdoc in the groups of Profs. Jillian Dempsey, Alex Miller, and Frank Leibfarth and performed research of (photo)electrochemical conversions of CO2 in both fundamental aspects and laboratory automations using AI/robotics (DOE-CHASE and Creativity Hubs projects, respectively). In 2024, he has started his independent career at the CO2 & Energy Research Center (KRICT) to address global challenges of energy and environment by solving the problems involving electrochemistry.
