Ryong Ryoo
Ryong Ryoo ( Korean 유룡 ; * 1955 in Hwaseong ) is a South Korean chemist who studies zeolites and other nano- and mesoporous materials and their use as catalysts .
Ryoo graduated from Seoul National University with a bachelor's degree in 1977 and received his master's degree from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 1979 , after which he worked for three years at the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute . In 1985 he received his doctorate with Michel Boudart at Stanford University (Dissertation Platinum Clusters in Y-Zeolite - Studies by Physical and Chemical Probes ), was a post-doctoral student at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with Alexander Pines (research on NMR on solids) and did research then at KAIST, where he became Assistant Professor in 1986, was given a full professorship in 1996 and has been Distinguished Professor since 2008. He is director of the Center for Nanomaterials and Chemical Reactions there.
He researched nanoporous and mesoporous materials made of carbon, silicates and other bases and found new synthetic methods (e.g. for hierarchically structured zeolites). In 2006, in particular, he found zeolites that offer more environmentally friendly applications in petrochemicals (for example, conversion of methanol to synthetic gasoline by heating with certain zeolites).
He is one of the Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates and received the Top Scientist Award from the South Korean government in 2005. In 2001 he received the KOSEF Science and Technology Award. In 2010 he received the Breck Award from the International Zeolite Association and the Ho-Am Prize .
In 2001 he became a member of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry .
