Dongho Kim received his BS in 1980 from Seoul National University, Seal, South Korea, and Ph.D. in 1984 from Washington University, Washington, DC. After postdoctoral research at Princeton University, New Jersey, he joined the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science, Daejeon, South Korea, in 1986. In 2000, he moved to Yonsei University, Seal, South Korea as a professor of chemistry. He received the Scientist of the Month Award (1999), the Sigma-Aldrich Award (2005), the Korea Science Award in Chemistry (2006), and the Star Faculty Award (2006) and was selected as the Underwood Professor at Yonsei University (2007). Since 2002, he has been a fellow of The Korea Academy of Science and Technology. Currently, he is leading the Center for Smart Nano-Conjugates through the World Class University Program. His research activity is focused on the experimental investigation of pi-conjugated molecular systems such as porphyrin, pyrene, perylenebisimide, and thiophene and their assemblies with particular interest in excitation dynamics both in ensemble and at single-molecule level. He has coauthored more than 350 articles and about 15 reviews in journals and books. He has served as an editorial board member for Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines, and Journal of Physical Chemistry.
