Meet Professor Ho Bum Park

Ho Bum Park is a full professor of Energy Engineering at Hanyang University, Republic of Korea, where he currently serves as Chair of the department. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from HYU in 2002 and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas at Austin from 2005 to 2008. Since 2008, he has established a state-of-the-art research laboratory for advanced membrane research. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed SCI papers, contributed 10 book chapters, and filed more than 110 patents. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Membrane Society of Korea for 17 years. He has organized many international and national conferences and served as an editorial board member of five scientific journals related to chemical engineering and materials science and engineering.

He currently leads a multidisciplinary research group focusing on the rapid and selective transport of small molecules and ions in a variety of novel membrane materials including polymers, nanomaterials and inorganic materials for carbon dioxide separation, desalination, fuel cell and battery applications. He is the recipient of numerous awards including the HYU Distinguished Research Fellow Award (2016), MSIP National Excellent Research Award (Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning) (2014), HYU Outstanding Teachers Award (2013), MOST National Outstanding Research Award (Ministry of Science and Technology) (2007), and Outstanding Young Scientist Award (North American Membrane Society) (2007).

This SDG collection focuses on Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Articles in this collection showcase the efforts of our chemical scientists in meeting this global need, from providing innovative measures to detect and extract harmful chemicals from the worlds water sources, to developing sustainable methods in sanitation and waste management.

 

 

Don’t forget that RSC Applied Polymers and RSC Applied Interfaces are both Gold open access journals, that means all our articles are free to read, including our new Sustainable Development Goals collections! The highly applied and interdisciplinary work included in these collections serve as a perfect example of the kind of papers we would like to see more of in RSC Applied Interfaces and RSC Applied Polymers.

 

Currently working towards one of the UN global sustainability goals? Submit your manuscript to RSC Applied Polymers or RSC Applied Interfaces to have it included in this ongoing collection!

Please check the journal websites for scope and submission details.

We hope you enjoy reading from our new sustainable development goals collections.

Keep an eye out for our other Sustainable Development Goals collections.
