DGIST | Energy Science and Engineering
Energy Materials Design and Processing Lab
We design materials, interfaces, and processing routes for energy devices that have to keep working when conditions become mechanically, thermally, or electrically demanding.
Students in EMDP Lab move from formulation and fabrication to characterization, troubleshooting, and publication-grade reporting with direct feedback from the PI.

Why EMDP Lab
A small lab designed for deep technical ownership
Prospective members should be able to see quickly what the lab works on, how students are trained, and what evidence exists that the work leads to serious output.
Research scope
From materials to devices
Projects connect synthesis, interfacial engineering, process design, and device-level validation instead of stopping at isolated material characterization.
Mentorship model
Frequent feedback, not passive supervision
Students are expected to think independently, but the lab structure is intentionally set up to speed up troubleshooting and sharpen experimental decisions.
Output standard
Publication-quality execution
Projects are framed around evidence, clear claims, and figure-ready results so the work can progress toward strong journals rather than ending as unfinished trials.
Featured publication
Recent output with immediate context
Liquid Metal-Vitrimer Conductive Composite for Recyclable and Resilient Electronics
The paper highlights the lab's interest in conductive composites that remain mechanically resilient while supporting more realistic lifecycle and recycling considerations.
Lab momentum
What new members step into
- National research funding has already supported early lab growth and project stability.
- Research themes currently span harsh-environment interconnects, ion-driven systems, and high-power processing routes.
- In-house instrumentation supports prototyping, electrical testing, thermal observation, and process iteration without relying entirely on external facilities.
Joining the lab
How onboarding works
The process is intentionally simple: establish fit, review preparedness, and align on a technically credible research direction.
01
Introduce your interests
Send a concise note describing your current level, what technical problems interest you, and why EMDP Lab is the right place to pursue them.
02
Share your materials
Provide a CV, transcript, and any project summary or portfolio material that demonstrates how you approach research or engineering work.
03
Refine the project fit
Interview meetings are used to test alignment, sharpen your proposed direction, and define the first credible milestone for lab entry.
