Join CCML
We welcome students interested in graduate study and research in computational chemistry and materials science.
Eligibility & recommended duration
Research participation
Prior coding or computational chemistry experience is not required. For students considering graduate study, we recommend around six months of undergraduate research to experience the topics and methods before deciding on the next step.
Integrated B.S.–M.S.
Tell us about your research interests and plans to continue from undergraduate to graduate study. We can discuss research participation and preparation for the program.
M.S. & Ph.D.
Introduce your academic background, research interests and intended start date. Research opportunities are discussed individually; admission follows the university’s official process.
Postdoctoral research
Introduce your experience in computational chemistry, atomistic simulation or machine learning for materials. Research directions and potential availability are discussed individually.
These are routes for discussing research participation. Availability and detailed timing are confirmed individually.
Methods we work with
First-principles theory
Electronic structure, structural stability and reaction mechanisms
Atomistic simulation
Surface reconstructions, interfacial evolution and atomic dynamics
Machine learning & data analysis
Potential training, property prediction and interpretation of computational results
How to inquire
Information to include
- BackgroundYour institution, major and current year or degree program.
- Interests and plansResearch directions that interest you and your plans for graduate study.
- Timing and experienceYour possible start date, coursework schedule and any relevant experience. It is fine if you are just getting started.
Common questions
Do I need coding or computational chemistry experience?
No. Prior experience is not required. Students interested in graduate study and research are welcome to inquire; share your background and interests so we can discuss participation.
How long should undergraduate research last?
We recommend around six months to experience the research topics and methods and consider graduate study. The start date and detailed schedule can be discussed individually.
What if I have not chosen a research topic?
Browse our research directions and selected publications, and tell us what interests you or what you would like to understand. A fully developed research proposal is not needed for an initial inquiry.
Where should I visit?
The laboratory is in Wonheung Hall E243 and E244. The PI office is in Manhae Hall B211. Please email first to arrange a meeting.
