Start with “why.”
I try to understand the reasoning behind an answer and the principles that support it.

The answer matters. So does the why.
I’m exploring chemistry, one question at a time.

01 / About
Learning begins
with a good question.
I’m Geon Lee, an undergraduate student in the Molecular Energy Engineering track at the University of Ulsan’s School of Energy and Chemical Engineering.
Through coursework in organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and instrumental analysis, I am building a foundation in understanding the properties and reactions of matter.
I am currently exploring different areas of chemistry to discover what I would like to study more deeply. I am building this portfolio to document my learning, the work I complete, and the questions that shape my interests.

02 / Current studies
Building a foundation,
from different perspectives.
Four ways to
understand matter.
The subjects I’m studying, and the questions behind them. Select a subject to explore.
01Organic ChemistryStructure & reactivity
How does molecular structure influence a reaction?
Exploring the relationship between molecular structure and chemical behavior, with attention to reaction mechanisms and the reasoning behind them.
Molecular structureReaction mechanismsReactivity
02Physical ChemistryEnergy & behavior
What connects a chemical equation to the way matter behaves?
Learning to connect physical models and mathematical relationships with the behavior of chemical systems, and to understand the assumptions behind each model.
Physical modelsEnergyProperties of matter
03Inorganic ChemistryBonding & properties
How do bonding and structure shape a compound’s properties?
Studying chemical bonding, periodic trends, and coordination compounds to understand the properties and behavior of inorganic substances.
Chemical bondingPeriodic trendsCoordination chemistry
04Instrumental AnalysisMeasurement & evidence
What can a measurement tell us—and where are its limits?
Studying how analytical instruments provide information about a sample, and how calibration, uncertainty, and interpretation affect the conclusions we draw.

03 / How I learn
Ask. Understand. Explain.
I value understanding why an answer makes sense.
Stay with the unclear part.
When something doesn’t make sense, I ask questions and revisit the idea until I can follow the explanation.
Put it in my own words.
I check my understanding by explaining a concept myself. Gaps in the explanation show me what to look at next.
