Jung Tae earned his Ph.D. in School of Materials Science Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and his primary research goals were developing novel battery materials including chalcogens with high energy/power density and prolonged cycle life based on fundamental mechanism understandings. He worked at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral associate in the Research Laboratory of Electronics for 2.5 years to develop thermally drawn Li-ion battery and supercapacitor fibers. He is currently a research associate at the University of Cambridge in the laboratory of Dr. Michael De-Volder. His current research focuses on developing novel hierarchical electrode structures ranging from nanoscale to macroscale for advanced Li-ion and next generation batteries.
