It was a great pleasure to welcome Prof. Shuhei Furukawa (@furukawas.bsky.social) from Kyoto University for a fascinating talk on “Van der Waals Porous Solids.” He shared inspiring insights into metal-organic polyhedra and engaged in lively discussions with our group!

Honored to be awarded the Humboldt Research Fellowship! My heartfelt gratitude goes to @lotschgroup.bsky.social and @chem571.bsky.social for their continued support and encouragement Excited for this next chapter as an AvH fellow at @mpifkf.bsky.social www.unist.ac.kr/unist/center...

Congratulations to Jiyeon on receiving the Elisabeth-Bauser Fellowship 🥳🎉 We are excited for all the great research coming up! www.fkf.mpg.de/8907326/2026...

We congratulate Dr. Denise S. Christovam and Dr. Jiyeon Kim for being awarded with the “Dr. Elisabeth Bauser” fellowship of 2026. We are sure that their achievements will inspire future generations of women in science! Link to the article: www.fkf.mpg.de/8907326/2026... @jiyeonkim.bsky.social

New paper alert🚨✨ Our recent work on redox conductivity in COF reminiscent of insulator-semiconductor switching (modulated by both electrical potential and light) behaviour is now published in JACS.✨ Open access paper: doi.org/10.1021/jacs...

I’m excited to join the IUCr Early Career Board for Acta Cryst. A, J. Appl. Cryst., and J. Synchrotron Rad. 💎🌐 Looking forward to learning from and contributing to the crystallography community through meaningful scientific exchange! #IUCr #EarlyCareerBoard 🔗 journals.iucr.org/s/services/e...

Honored that our paper “Up–down approach for expanding the chemical space of MOFs” is featured in Nature Portfolio’s Collection celebrating the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry🏵🎊 Excited to see how MOF chemistry continues to evolve, and honored to be part of its journey✨ www.nature.com/collections/...

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal-organic frameworks” Stay tuned for more. #NobelPrize

"Kitagawa told reporters (...) that he pursued this research because of its potential impact on society, but also because of the sheer fun of it." If you look inside so many great scientists you will consistently find that deep down they did it for the fun and beauty of it all. #MOFs #Science
