Kyoung-Shin Choi
Korean American chemist
Kyoung-Shin Choi (Korean: 최경신) is a professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Choi's research focuses on the electrochemical synthesis of electrode materials, for use in electrochemical and photoelectrochemical devices.
Early life and education
Choi studied piano at Yewon Middle School, Korea's first middle school dedicated to the arts. In high school, Choi liked Chemistry and Physics classes tremendously and decided to become a scientist. Choi attended college at Seoul National University in South Korea, earning her B.S. (major in Food and Nutrition and minor in Chemistry) in 1993 and M.S. in 1995. She worked with Jin-Ho Choy on the crystal structure, pressure-induced phase transitions, and magnetism of chromium-niobium oxide materials that adopt the double perovskite structure.
For her doctoral study, Choi came to the United States in 1995. She worked at Michigan State University in the laboratory of Mercouri G. Kanatzidis, earning her Ph.D. in chemistry in 2000. Her graduate work focused on the synthesis of various solid state antimony and bismuth-containing chalcogenides using the "molten polychalcogenide salt method."
Choi then conducted postdoctoral studies from 2000 to 2002 at the University of California, Santa Barbara with Galen D. Stucky and Eric W. McFarland. Her postdoctoral research concerned the electrochemical synthesis of nanostructured thin films.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Kyoung-Shin Choi”, the useful work is to connect “korean American chemist” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q88211073. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 1995, 2000 and 2002.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
