Bio
Won Tae Choi was born in Seoul, South Korea. After his primary and secondary schools, he enrolled as a chemical engineering student at Hanyang University. In route to earning a BS degree in Chemical Engineering, Won Tae carried out undergraduate research on synthesis of titania nanoparticles for energy applications under the guidance of Dr. Sang Man Koo. After graduating in 2009, Won Tae joined at Korea Institute of Science and Technology as a researcher and conducted research of developing chemical hydrogen storage materials (i.e. metal hydrides) for fuel cell operations. Then, he moved to Seoul National University to pursue MS degree in Chemical Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Kookheon Char. He performed research on engineering semiconducting polymer blend films for organic solar cells. Especially, he worked on small angle neutron scattering to characterize nanomorphology of the polymer blend films to establish structure-property-device performance relationship. After graduating in 2012, Won Tae moved to Georgia Tech to study electrochemical engineering of materials' surfaces to control interfacial behavior including wetting, corrosion, and adhesion of bio-organisms under the supervision of Dr. Dennis W. Hess and Dr. Victor Breedveld. There he earned PhD degree in Chemical Engineering in 2017. His PhD study motivated him to join corrosion science group (Advisor: Dr. Preet M. Singh) at Georgia Tech as a postdoc to investigate corrosion of metals for biomedical and industrial applications. Subsequently, Won Tae joined electrochemistry group at UT-Austin (Advisor: Dr. Allen J. Bard), where he was trained on advanced electrochemical analysis tools (i.e. scanning electrochemical microscopy, ultramicroelectrode, and nanopipets) and studied photoelectrochemistry, single entity electrochemistry, and electrosynthesis of materials. He is now an Assistant Professor at the University of Florida.
