Welcome to Physicochemical Hydrodynamics Lab!

Our research interest lies in understanding of physicochemical hydrodynamic behaviors in Nature. Physicochemical hydrodynamics describes hydrodynamic movements of physical/chemical/electrical/biological components. Applications that can benefit from an improved understanding in this field are desalination, electrochemical systems, and particle manipulations.

Briefly, our current research topics include:

1. fluid dynamics of electro-hydrodynamic instability,

2. ion transport phenomena in electro-membrane desalination,

3. physicochemical hydrodynamics for bio-agent pretreatment.

We are looking for Postdoc and graduate students who are interested in Desalination & Fluid dynamics!

please contact Prof. Rhokyun Kwak (rhokyun@hanyang.ac.kr)
