On July 6, 2026, Prof. Dong Ha Kim, PIFI Distinguished Scientist from Ewha Womans University, visited the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, China (NCNST) and delivered an academic seminar entitled "Engineering Light-Matter-Spin Interactions: From Surface Plasmon Resonance to Perovskite Optoelectronics and Chiral Spin Photonics". The seminar was hosted by Prof. Xinfeng Liu at NCNST.

Prof. Kim presented a comprehensive overview of his research spanning over two decades, tracing the evolution from plasmonic nanoscience to chiral spin photonics. His recent work integrating structural chirality with exciton-plasmon coupling and chirality-induced spin selectivity has opened new directions for spin-controlled photocatalysis, optoelectronic devices, quantum photonics, and sustainable catalysis technologies.

The seminar attracted numerous researchers and students from NCNST, who actively engaged with Prof. Kim through in-depth questions and discussions following the presentation.

Following the seminar, Prof. Xinfeng Liu presented Prof. Dong Ha Kim with the PIFI Distinguished Scientist Certificate, in recognition of his contributions to fostering international collaboration between NCNST and Ewha Womans University.

Prof. Dong Ha Kim received his Ph.D. from Seoul National University in 2000 and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research. He previously worked as a senior scientist at Samsung Electronics and joined Ewha Womans University in 2006, where he currently holds the position of Distinguished Professor. He is a Fellow of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. In May 2026, Prof. Kim was selected for the CAS International Exchange Program and awarded the PIFI Distinguished Scientist Fellowship.
