Research Interest

Prof. Yoon has a broad area of research interests, mostly focused on those phenomena occurring at complex natural and biological systems. He is also interested in developing and/or applying novel analytical tools that help clear observations and interpretations of above phenomena occurring at complex systems.

During the early periods of his academic career, he has been interested in understanding phenomena occurring at complex environmental systems and investigated the interactions between natural organic matters and metal ions, using laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy techniques, infrared spectroscopy combined with DFT calculation, and soft x-ray spectromicroscopy.

During the early periods of his academic career, as an independent researcher, he has been interested in the safety issues of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) and understanding interactions of ENMs with environmental and biological systems.

While working on these topics on the nanosafety issue, his curiosity drive him to several new research areas, such as cytometry, microfluidics, and advanced data analysis.

Currently, he is mainly focused on the 1) developments and applications of novel analytical techniques for the measurements of biological cells, extracellular vesicles, and nanoparticles, and their interactions, and 2) applications of advanced data analysis techniques for the model developments of clinical diagnostics and toxicity assessment .
