Prof. Dr. Tae-Lim Choi Appointed as Full Professor of Polymer Chemistry
At its meeting of 8 and 9 December 2021 and upon application of Joël Mesot, President of ETH Zurich, the ETH Board appointed Professor Tae-Lim Choi (*1977), currently Full Professor at Seoul National University, South Korea, as Full Professor of Polymer Chemistry in the Department of Materials.
Our lab's interest and focus is heavily on synthesis. With the powerful tool of synthesis in hand, we can make molecules regardless of their sizes (either small organic molecules or polymers) and play around with their structures, functionalities and properties.
