The ACRE Lab (Principal Investigator: Prof. Insoo Ro) at Korea University is seeking highly motivated undergraduate interns, graduate students (M.S. and Ph.D.), and postdoctoral researchers to join our team and shape the future.

Our laboratory conducts innovative research aimed at a sustainable environment and energy, ranging from fundamental studies in catalytic reaction engineering to next-generation technologies driven by machine learning.

[Key Research Areas]

  • Fundamental Catalysis: Design of foundational catalysts, including single-atom catalysts, and elucidation of reaction mechanisms.
  • Plastic Upcycling: Chemical upcycling through the catalytic degradation of waste plastics.
  • Environmental Catalysis: Development of eco-friendly catalysts for greenhouse gas reduction.
  • AI in Catalysis: Establishment of a next-generation catalyst development framework integrating AI and machine learning.

We look forward to applications from self-motivated individuals who are passionate about the field of catalysis and reaction engineering.
