Career

Professor Hong has developed the method of synthesizing large-scale graphene by chemical vapor deposition (Chemical Vapor Deposition), which triggered chemical researches toward the practical applications of graphene. His papers reporting the large-scale growth of graphene have been intensively cited by many graphene researchers, showing the originality and the significance of his research. 2002: Ph. 2001: Hong, Byung Hee (2001).
