Biography: 

EunTae Yun is currently working with Prof. John Fortner as a postdoctoral associate in Chemical and Environmental Engineering at Yale University. He earned M.S. degree in environmental engineering in 2015 from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) and received his Ph.D. from Korea University in 2019. After graduation, He started working with Prof. Seungkwan Hong as a research professor at School of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering at Korea University. His research interests include understanding the persulfate activation mechanism and developing carbon-based nanomaterials for highly enhanced persulfate activation. Currently, he is more focused on fabricating large-scale carbon composite electrodes for not only generating persulfate, but also efficiently removing trace organic materials in the wastewater treatment process. He has published papers in top environmental journals, such as Environmental Science and Technology, Applied catalysts B: Environmental, and Journal of membrane science.
