Background/Research Interests:

Dr. Hansoo Kim joined the Microscopy and Imaging Center at TAMU in January 2008. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Florida at Gainesville in 2003. He performed his postdoctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania before he became a research scientist at the University of North Texas. His research area has been synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and metal oxide nanostructures, morphological study on ionic polymers (ionomers), and characterization of metallic composites. Various kinds of conventional and advanced scanning as well as transmission electron microscopes have been major analytical tools for this research. His research interests are analysis of materials for crystallographic, physical and chemical properties using the analytical transmission electron microscopy TECNAI F20 Super Twin (ST).
