Professor Park has
received the Scientists of the Month Award from the Ministry of Education,
Science,

and Technology for his recent achievements in the development of
artificial photosynthetic materials. 

The construction of
light-harvesting materials for artificial photosynthesis had remained without
fruition

due to the difficulties in the integral coupling of photocatalytic and
biocatalytic cycles. Professor Park has provided a new strategy for developing
efficient artificial photosynthetic systems via rational design and

engineering
of nanomaterials
