Seung Hwan Cho

Seung Hwan was born in Gwangju, South Korea. He received BS in 2006 from Korea Advanced Instituted Science and Technology (KAIST). Seung Hwan earned his Ph.D. degree in 2011 at Korea Advanced Instituted Science and Technology (KAIST) under the guidance of Prof. Sukbok Chang. During his Ph.D. studies, he focused on two different research topics: (1) copper-catalyzed three-component couplings with terminal alkynes, sulfonyl azides, and nucleophiles, and (2) transition-metal-free or transition-metal-catalyzed C–C and C–N bond formation reactions via a C–H functionalization strategy. After spending one more year at KAIST, Seung Hwan conducted postdoctoral work with Prof. John F. Hartwig at the University of California, Berkeley (USA) as a Cheongam postdoctoral fellow (2012–2014). There, he was engaged in research to develop silane-directed secondary C–H borylation reactions. Seung Hwan joined the faculty of Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in the summer of 2014 as an assistant professor and promoted to associate professor in 2018 in the Department of Chemistry. His research involves chemo- and stereoselective transformations using 1,1-diborylalkanes as coupling reagents. He also interests in the design and synthesis of multiorganometallic reagents and their application to the metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions.
