Postdoctoral Fellow
Ph.D. Department of Materials Science and Engineering, MIT (2024)
MIT MathWorks Engineering Fellow 2021-2023
Exxon-MIT Energy Initiative Fellow 2023-2024
B.S. Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), (2019)
Research Interests
Serin’s primary goal as a researcher is elucidating the correlation between structure, property, and performance of functional nanomaterials for a sustainable future using in situ electron microscopy. She uses in situ electron microscopy as a nanoscale laboratory to reveal the dynamics of materials under reaction conditions realized by external stimuli such as light illumination, temperature, biasing, and exposure to liquid and gas. Her postdoc research focuses on investigating the dynamic process of photocatalytic materials to enhance performance and lifetime. She received her Ph.D. in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT advised by Prof. Frances Ross as MIT Energy Initiative Fellow and MIT MathWorks Engineering Fellow.
