About the Lab

Professor Yong-Sang Kim's research lab specializes in the development of advanced microfluidic and nanomaterial-based devices for biomedical sensing and energy applications. The lab focuses on integrating novel materials—such as graphene oxide, titanium dioxide, and conductive oxides—into miniaturized, portable diagnostic systems for point-of-care detection of biomolecules, pathogens, and environmental pollutants. Key research directions include lab-on-a-chip systems, field-effect transistors for biosensing, and nanostructured materials for gas and solar energy applications. The lab emphasizes innovation in fabrication techniques like nanoimprinting and inkjet printing to enable low-cost, high-performance sensing platforms.

Corrosion Behavior of Pipeline Carbon Steel under Different Iron Oxide Deposits in the District Heating System
Yong-Sang Kim, Jung‐Gu Kim
SJR Q2MetalsOA

The corrosion behavior of pipeline steel covered by iron oxides (α-FeOOH; Fe3O4 and Fe2O3) was investigated in simulated district heating water. In potentiodynamic polarization tests; the corrosion rate of pipeline steel is increased under the iron oxide but the increaseing rate is different due to the differnet chemical reactions of the covered iron oxides. Pitting corrosion was only observed on the α-FeOOH-covered specimen; which is caused by the crevice corrosion under the α-FeOOH. From Mott-

SJR Q1Lab on a Chip

A fully integrated microchip for performing cell lysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative analysis of DNA amplicons in a single step is described herein. The chip was built on glass substrate using an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) microheater and PDMS engraved microchannels, which integrated an electrochemical cell lysis zone, a continuous flow PCR module and capillary electrophoresis amperometric detection (CE-AD) system. The total length of the microchannel was 4625 mm for performing 2
