Yongha Kim Awarded the NAMS Graduate Fellowship
We are delighted to share that Yongha Kim was awarded the 2026 Graduate Fellowship through the North American Membrane Society (NAMS)
Our PhD student, Yongha Kim has been selected to receive the 2026 NAMS Graduate Student Fellowship, an award presented annually to outstanding graduate researchers in membrane science and technology.
In 2026, only three fellowships will be awarded nationwide. Recipients will deliver an oral presentation during a special award session at 2026 International Congress on Membranes and Membrane Processes (ICOM) and will receive a $500 honorarium, complimentary conference registration, a one-year NAMS membership, conference hotel accommodations, and a commemorative plaque. Warmest congratulations, Yongha!
“The NAMS Student Fellowship Awards are presented annually to outstanding graduate students in the membrane science and technology area.”
About our work
We design and create high-performance membranes that enable unprecedented separation opportunities. We pursue fundamental breakthroughs that translate into real-world applications, always seeking to bridge the microscopic understanding of materials with macroscopic performance. Our goal is to make separations systems cleaner, stronger, and more sustainable.
About the Oh Lab
At the Oh Lab, we are dedicated to advancing the world’s most important, but challenging, separations in the environment, energy, and health sector. We do this by focusing on the molecular-to-macroscopic design and characterization of polymer membranes. We work at the intersection of chemical engineering, materials science, and molecular transport, focusing on designing advanced polymer membranes for efficient chemical separation.
