Prof. Ali Coskun received his BSc in Chemistry from the Middle East

Prof. Ali Coskun received his BSc in Chemistry from the
Middle East Technical University (METU) in 2001. He
received his MSc and PhD degrees in Chemistry in the same
institution while carrying out his research activities under the
supervision of Professor Engin U. Akkaya. After his graduate
studies, He joined to the laboratory of Prof. J. Fraser Stoddart
as a research associate, first at University of California at Los
Angeles (UCLA) and subsequently at Northwestern
University. He next joined to the Graduate School of EEWS,
Department of Chemistry at Korea Advanced Institute of
Science and Technology (KAIST) as an assistant professor in
2012 and recently promoted to Associate Professor. He is
currently developing porous polymers for CO2 capture,
separation and conversion, naoporous carbon materials for H2
storage and energy storage applications, organic Li-ion batteries and also polymeric binders
for silicon anodes. Recently, he received highly prestigious “2013 Excellent New Researcher
Award in Chemistry" for the development of efficient gas storage materials. This prestigious
early career award is given to only one PI per funding cycle in the entire country at the
respective subject division.
