Biography: Jin (Jin-Ho) Yun, Ph.D., is a Senior Research Scientist at the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB) and an Assistant Professor at the University of Science and Technology (UST), Republic of Korea. He also serves as an Adjunct Scientist at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in the United States. His research focuses on microalgal biotechnology, microbial interactions, evolutionary engineering, carbon capture and utilization (CCU), and sustainable biorefinery systems, with particular interest in developing microorganisms and microbial communities for carbon-neutral production of fuels, chemicals, and high-value bioproducts. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from KAIST, following earlier training in ecology and evolutionary biology in the United States. He also serves in editorial roles for several journals, including Chemical Engineering Journal, Algal Research, and Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology.
