Our group is exploring the connection between soft matter physics and biology. We’re using computer simulations and theoretical models to understand how things work in biological cells and tissues, from tiny molecules to larger cell structures. Our focus areas include looking at the structure and function of proteins in cell membranes, understanding the properties of soft matter in living things, and investigating how certain peptides help deliver drugs into cells. We’re also studying electrolytes, especially in the context of lithium-ion batteries, to figure out how ions move and design better materials for energy storage.
Seungho gave a talk titled “Spontaneous translocation of carbon nanotubes across a model membrane” @ 2025 KPS spring meeting (04/23-04/25, Daejeon)
Seungho’s manuscript, “Insights into translocation of arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides across a model membrane,” has been accepted in the Journal of Physical Chemistry B (Virtual Special Issue: The Dynamic Structure of the Lipid Bilayer and Its Modulation by Small Molecules).
Our group is seeking talented and motivated students (intern, Master, PhD). Please contact us if you are interested.
