About Myongji  University and professor Chung’s lab
With a diverse history spanning over sixty years, Myongji University founded in 1948 has evolved into a leading academic institution of higher learning, admirably living up to its founding spirit of ‘Love, Truth, and Service.’ Encompassed in a picturesque and natural setting, our vibrant and eminent faculty, cutting edge education and research, and our internationalized student body have played an essential role in bringing forth competent intellectuals.
Myongji University is comprised of two campuses. Our Seoul Campus is located minutes away from the economic, political, and cultural centers of Seoul’s metropolitan downtown. An hour drive away in Yongin, enshrouded in a beautiful and natural setting is our Yongin Campus. Our E2FTC research center and department are located in Yongin Campus.
Department of Environmental Engineering and Biotechnology includes 11 Faculty members and 60 graduate students (Half of them are foreign graduate students). This department and E2FTC have lots of sophisticated equipments (fermentor, anaerobic gas chambers, gas permeation equipment, coating machine, perevaporation unit, FTIR, TGA, GC-MS, LC-MS, ICP-MS, Pilot fermenter, spinning process, GC,  HPL, IC PCR and molcular biology related equipments).
We are expanding our graduate program of Energy Science and Technology which was opened on March1, 2010 with a cooperation of E2FTC and Graduate program of Environmental Technology.
In Professor Chung’s Lab, more than 7 international papers are being published in each year. We have 10 Ph D graduate students, 2 research professors, 2 postdoctoral research fellows, 3 private researchers. Right now, we are dealing with bioenergy-related projects: Biomass pretreatment  by ionic liquid and nano catalyst for alcohol production, metabolic engineering work to produce valuable compounds(polyalcohol,  isobutanol, propnaediol, butanediol and monomers of biopolymer), fermentation and production of butanol and butanol recovery, chemical conversion of hydrocarbons into HMF and other intermediate compounds.
