In February 2018, Seunghwan Moon graduated from Chungbuk Science High School after only two years. He graduated early in three years with the Academic Excellence Award and received a B.Sc. at the School of Integrated Technology, College of Engineering, Yonsei University, in February 2021. He was accepted to join the Yonsei University's Combined M.Sc.-Ph.D. program through the undergraduate-graduate linked course, and in March 2021, he joined the Nano Convergence Systems Group (PI: Prof. Jong-Souk Yeo).
His research focuses on light-matter interaction in bulk to quantum scale materials, including quantum devices, nanophotonics, plasmonics, structural coloring with photonic crystals, and selective laser melting for metal additive manufacturing. He joined the BIOnanophotonic Systems (BIOS) Laboratory (PI: Prof. Hatice Altug) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) as a visiting Ph.D. student in summer 2022 to conduct research on the demonstration of nanoscale light sources based on Metal-Insulator-Metal structures. In summer 2023, he was invited as a Visiting Ph.D. Student at the Chair of Materials Science and Nanotechnology (PI: Prof. Gianaurelio Cuniberti) to obtain theoretical insights for developing solid-state quantum devices.
