Nam-Gyu Park

Park Nam-Gyu is a Korean chemist.

Park studied chemistry at Seoul National University with a bachelor's degree in 1988 and a master's degree in 1992 and received his PhD in inorganic chemistry (solid-state chemistry) in 1995. As a post-doctoral student he was in Bordeaux (Institute for Solid State Chemistry in Pessac ) in 1996/97 and at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden (Colorado) from 1997 to 1999 . From 2000 to 2005 he was Senior Scientist at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in Daejeon and from 2005 to 2009 Senior Scientist and Director of the Center for Solar Cell Research at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). In 2009 he became a professor at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU). He is a fellow of the SKKU.

In 2017 he belonged with Tsutomu Miyasaka and Henry J. Snaith to the Clarivate Citation Laureates , which were traded as Nobel Prize candidates for contributions to perovskites as solar cell material, especially because of highly cited work. After their discovery around 2012, organometallic perovskites turned out to be promising new solar cell materials in terms of both efficiency and ease of processing. Park has (as of 2017) an h-index of 70.

He received the Korean Scientist Award of the Month (MEST, Korea), the KyungHyang Electricity and Energy Award (KEPCO, Korea), the KIST Award of the Year (KIST, Korea), the Dupont Science and Technology Award (Dupont Korea) and the Outstanding Research Award from the Material Research Society (MRS, Boston). For 2018 he was awarded a Ho Am Prize .

He is the CEO of Cowon Systems.
