Sangyeop Lee
University of Pittsburgh
Profile
Sangyeop Lee received his B.S and M.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). He had obtained a scholarship for full tuition and boarding from the Korean government for both the B.S. and M.S. programs. Upon graduation he worked for nearly five years as a Research Scientist at KAIST. He then pursued and obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Samsung scholarship. He finally joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science of the University of Pittsburgh in the fall of 2015.
Research
Transport phenomena of heat, charge, and mass – simulation and experimental characterization of nanoscale transport; thermal transport in novel materials including 2D layered materials, phase change materials, ferroelectric materials, and soft matters; transport phenomena at interface; multi-scale simulation from nano to macroscale
Solid-state energy conversion – thermoelectrics; electrochemistry; electrocalorics
