Eui Kyoon (EK) Kim

Graduate Student - Chemical Engineering
Office: CPE 3.154
Phone: (512)-471-6364
Email: eui@che.utexas.edu

EK received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from the Seoul National University in February, 1996. Then he enrolled in the Chemical Technology graduate program at the Seoul National University, and received Master of Science in Engineering in February, 1998. He began his doctoral work under the guidance of Professor C. Grant Willson in September 1999. After completing his Ph.D., he will be employed by Applied Materials in Santa Clara, California.

Research Areas:

  • Imprint materials (acrylate, vinyl ether)development
  • Vinyl ether and epoxy monomer synthesis  
  • Material properties (mechanical, surface and thermal properties) evaluation
    and characterization.
  • Temperature simulation in imprint material and electron beam resist.
  • Surface treatment (glass mold and polymer)
