Website:Areas of Research
The research interests of the Choi group include the synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of metallic nanomaterials, which can be utilized for electrocatalysts and sensing materials. Our approaches are engaged in the interface of electrochemistry, analytical chemistry, and materials science, in order to understand the fundamental characteristics of nanomaterials and to design a wide variety of their applications.
