Kiyoung Park is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at KAIST, specializing in the study of metalloenzymes and their catalytic mechanisms. Their research focuses on elucidating the structure and reactivity of intermediates in non-heme iron and cobalt enzymes, such as the Fe(IV)=O species in halogenases and the peroxide shunt intermediates in Rieske dioxygenases. Park's work also explores the design of heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to formate and the role of metal-mediated hydrolysis in amyloid-β peptide degradation. Their research integrates spectroscopic and computational methods to understand enzyme mechanisms and develop sustainable catalytic systems.
