Chemistry

Yoon specializes in nano and molecular scale photochemistry and photonics. He is well known for the studies of space and time resolved fluorescence/Raman spectroscopy that has been conducted at the Laboratory for Molecular-Nano Photochemistry and Photonics in Chungnam National University.[1] Acknowledging his contribution to chemistry, he was elected the 43rd president of The Korean Chemical Society in 2007 and held the position until 2009. Yoon is also the vice president of Asia-Oceania Photochemistry Association. In 2009, Yoon was elected the president of The Korean Union of Chemical Science and Technology Societies. He serves as an associate editor of the journal, Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences and an editorial board member of both Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C-Photochemistry Review and Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A-Chemistry.

Life and Education

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Yoon studied chemistry education (Bachelor of Science, 1971) at Seoul National University. Instead of becoming a highschool teacher, his research interest in chemistry led him to pursue postgraduate studies (Master of Science, 1974) at Sogang University. Yoon continued the graduate study under Dr. Pill-soon Song and received Ph.D in chemistry from Texas Tech University in 1981. After the post-doctoral research fellowships at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Harvard Medical School from 1981 to 1982, Yoon returned to Korea to become a faculty member of Department of Chemistry of Chungnam National University.
