About

Seongkoo joined Dr. Castaneda’s group at Texas A&M University in fall 2015 as a Ph.D student and is now a graduate assistant researcher.  A key aspect of Seongkoo Cho’s research is to establish a fundamental physics-based understanding of materials-electrochemistry-performance interplay in corrosion and electrochemical system. In this regard, a combined electroanalytical technique and numerical modeling is being developed as a validated and interpretative approach. His research interests include: electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, localized corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, degradation modeling of electrochemical system, and thermodynamics and kinetics process in electrochemical system.
