My organisation
About me
I am a project leader for KIST Europe, the EU branch of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), based in Germany. My research team specializes in environmental pollutant monitoring, circular economy, and chemical risk assessment. We bring strong expertise in analytical chemistry, life cycle assessment (LCA), and AI-assisted data analytics, particularly in emerging contaminants (e.g., PFAS) and advanced sensing technologies.
In addition to our own research, we are also actively coordinating with Korean partners for Horizon Europe participation. Notably, KIST’s Water Resources and Recycling Research Center (Seoul, Korea) conducts advanced research on wastewater treatment, precious metal and resource recovery from effluents, and AI-integrated process optimization.
We are also in contact with the other Korean government-funded research institutes, including the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT), which leads national research on water purification and resource recovery technologies, as well as several top universities with expertise in contaminant removal and environmental system design (including PFAS remediation).
Our aim is to form strong transnational collaborations for proposals under Cluster 6, especially those related to water reuse, resource recovery, pollutant detection, and sustainable circular economy.
