Biography

Hee-Sun Han obtained a B.S. degree in Chemistry from the College of Natural Sciences at Seoul National University, Korea, where he graduated summa cum laude as valedictorian. He then moved to Cambridge, USA, to pursue graduate work in Physical Chemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a Samsung KASF fellow, under the guidance of Professor Moungi G. Bawendi. His research focused on developing new quantum dot-based imaging probes and a phenotypic, intravital cytometric imaging platform. Afterward, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University with Professor David Weitz, where he developed a drop-based microfluidic platform for high-throughput genome sequencing. Currently, as an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Han leads a research group that develops and implements innovative bioanalytical technologies aimed at dissecting the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving the ensemble behavior of complex biological systems. His specific interests include bioanalytical technologies, spatially resolved single-cell omics, synthetic cells, bioimaging, and drop microfluidics.
