Biography

Kyung-Ho Roh is a tenured Associate Professor in the Chemical and Materials Engineering Department. Dr. Roh received his Ph.D. degree in Macromolecular Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2008, and his M.S. and B.S. degrees in Fiber and Polymer Science and Engineering from Seoul National University, South Korea. Upon completion of his Ph.D., he studied for 5 years in the School of Medicine at Stanford University for his postdoctoral study on T cell immunology. Immediately before joining UAH, Dr. Roh worked as a Research Scientist in the Biomedical Engineering Department at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University, and he also served as a Program Manager for the National Cell Manufacturing Consortium.
