Award-winning achievements

Professor Sooyoung Park established basic theories on electrical conductivity, photophysics, and photochemistry in organic electron materials and photofunctional materials and realized synthesis based on molecular design, with excellent research accomplishments in developing innovative optoelectronic materials.

In particular, he established theories on the expression of optoelectronic characteristics, designed and synthesized new substances, and has received global attention for his innovative work on high-performance devices. He also announced AIEE(Aggregation-Induced Enhanced Emission), an original theory on improving the solid-state fluorescent characteristics of molecular substances and related substances for the first time globally, elevating the level of studies in relevant fields.

He also announced a method for completely blocking energy transfer between molecular substances, a method for designing functional molecules, and the mechanism of coupling the supramolecular crystals of molecular substances and controlling fluorescent characteristics for the first time in academia, suggesting a new paradigm in the basic chemical theories and applications of photophysics.
