Dr. Do Young Kim's Research
About Dr. Do Young Kim
Dr. Do Young Kim is an Assistant Professor in the School of Materials Science and
Engineering (MSE) at the Oklahoma State University. He has the expertise in fabrication
and characterization of organic electronic devices (OLED and Organic photovoltaic
cell) as well as inorganic electronic devices (poly-Si TFT and colloidal PbS nanocrystal
photodetector). Prior to joining the Oklahoma State University he was a Research Scientist
as well as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Florida (2009-2015) where
he invented a light-weight, low cost energy efficient infrared sensitive organic light
emitting diode (OLED) technology that can be fabricated into infrared imaging sensors.
He is a co-founder and a Scientific Advisor of two startup companies – NIRVision,
LLC and nVerPix, LLC based on organic/inorganic nanomaterial and device technologies.
From 2002 to 2006 He also worked as a research scientist at the Samsung Advanced Institute
of Technology (SAIT), South Korea developing the poly-Si TFT technology on plastic
substrates which is a core technology in flexible OLED displays. Dr. Kim received
his PhD from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University
of Florida in 2009. He also received his B.S. degree (1999) and M.S. degree (2002)
in physics from Kyung Hee University, South Korea. His research interests are in colloidal
inorganic nanomaterials, organic semiconductors, and their use in optoelectronics,
nanoelectronics, and energy/bio applications. Dr. Kim has 35 publications, 17 issued
patents, another 19 patent applications pending and 74 conference presentations.
