Daesung Chong

Biography

Daesung Chong was born in born in Chongup, Korea, in 1971 and received his B.S. from Kyonggi University, Korea, (1996) and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Sogang University (with C. S. Chin, 1998 and 2001) and did postdoctoral work at the Texas A&M University at College Station with Marcetta Y. Darensbourg and at the University of Vermont with William E. Geiger before joining the Electrochemistry researcher at Dow Corning Corporation in 2008. In 2010 he moved to the Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. His main interest has been in the use of electrochemistry in analysis, synthesis and catalysis.

Research Interest

His current research activity is to develop organic and inorganic synthetic methods under mild conditions with an electron that facilitate the efficient preparation of homogeneous (C-C) and heterogeneous (C-Si) coupling products from trivial and unactivated starting materials.
