Yongkwan Dong, Ph.D , Technology Specialist

Experience

Dr. Dong developed new synthetic methods and deigned new inorganic solid state compounds, and he has extensive experience in synthesis and characterization of inorganic solid state compounds. He also has strong background in single crystal growth and powder metallurgy and structure-property relationships of inorganic solid state compounds. He wrote, reviewed, or commented on documents, such as proposals, manuscripts, or procedures. He has 57 peer reviewed publications, 44 international and domestic presentations, 1 patent.

Dr. Dong worked as a research scientist at University of South Florida and University of Delaware, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University. He has studied the synthesis and characterization of Skutterudites, Half-Heuslers, and Novel Intermetallics, and collaborated with Stanford/Clemson University, Bosch LLC, NIST, ORNL, GM. He also maintained laboratory instruments to ensure proper working order and troubleshoot malfunctions when needed, and directed, coordinated, or advised personnel in test procedures for analyzing components or physical properties of materials. He studied at Cornell University on high pressure high temperature processing of thermoelectric materials, and implemented a computer controlled probe for transport properties measurements between 300 K and 700 K and ternary and quaternary nitrides using metal alloy flux.
