Professor Junsuk Rho of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering has been appointed as an associate editor of Microsystems & Nanoengineering (MINE) published by Springer-Nature.

Microsystem & Nanoengineering is a world-renowned journal in micro-nano processing, production, device, and systems, and Professor Junsuk Rho is the only Korean who has been appointed as an editor of this journal. Professor Rho will work as a main editor in nano optics and nano processing.

Professor Rho’s research mainly focuses on the development of new nano optical materials and devices based on experimental studies on light-material interactions in basic physics and nano units. Professor Rho’s work has been published in nearly 190 journals, including Nature and Science.

Garnering global attention as a young, pioneering researcher in nano optical and nano processing, Professor Rho was the first Korean researcher to receive the Young Scientist Award at the Microsystems & Nanoengineering (MINE) Conference, and has won the Young Investigator Award and Lectureship from Micro Electronic Engineering and Micro and Nano Engineering (MEE/MNE) and the Young Investigator Award from Micromachines.
