Hello, I explore carbon cycling at the atmosphere-plant-soil interface, with an emphasis on microorganisms. I started working as an assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural Biotechnology at Seoul National University as of Fall 2022.  You can find my CV here. Please contact me at kjmin@snu.ac.kr if you are interested in joining my lab!

Vision
We seek to build a supportive and intellectual community,
where scientists and science grow together through exploring soil  

Mission

• To advance our knowledge about how the pools and fluxes of soil organic carbon vary with changing environmental conditions
• To help scholars from diverse backgrounds (e.g., gender, age, race, intelligence, religious/political beliefs, etc.) develop leadership and make their voices heard in a broad community

Values

• Progress
  : we take responsibility for our words and actions and success and failure, through which we push science forward.
• Exploration
  : we recognize that knowledge is boundless and can be approached from different perspectives. 
• Support
  : we thrive when we care for one another personally and academically. 

Interests
terrestrial ecosystem, soil organic carbon, global change, plant-soil-microorganism relationship
