ChoiBiography

Jiil Choi is a research affiliate at the Computational NanoBio Technology (CNBT) Lab of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology since 2018, and an independent research contractor working for commercial companies in domestic and international collaborations. Prior to joining the CNBT Lab, he worked as a research assistant professor at a graduate school of EEWS (Energy, Environment, Water and Sustainability) at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology at South Korea from 2012 to 2017. He conducted materials researches related to energy generation and storage development, developing computational research methodologies and teaching students about the computational theory and methodologies.

He earned a MS and Ph.D in School of Physics at Georgia Tech in 2007, and a BS in Physics at Hanyang University in Korea in 1994. While in graduate school, he served as a teaching assistant for 4 years for courses on fundamental experimental physics, providing lectures and evaluating students from all majors. His research areas of interest are electronic properties of materials in various dimension, kinetic behavior of solid and polymeric systems using multiscale computational research methodologies, and development of the methodology. He is also paying close attention to classroom engagement, motivating students, and developing effective teaching materials for fundamental materials science and engineering using his computational skills and research experiences.

 

This presentation is part of the on-site interviews for a Lecturer position in the School of Materials Science and Engineering. The 1 hour session that will be divided into three parts. First, the candidate will have 15 minutes to describe their teaching philosophy and experience. Second, the candidate will participate in a mock teaching exercise (20 minute lecture + 10 minutes questions).  In the lecture the candidate will cover a pre-selected topic (chosen from a supplied list) as they would in an undergraduate introductory or core MSE class (e.g., MSE 2001 and 3002). Third, the floor will be open for 15 minutes of questions from the audience.
