(TSXV: PAD) (the \"Company\") wishes to welcome Dr. Dongmok Whang to its 'Advisory Board'. Dr. Dongmok Whang is a Professor at the School of Advanced Materials Science & Engineering and Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), Korea. His research interest is in controlled fabrication of low-dimensional nanomaterials, such as graphene, semiconductor nanowires, porous nanostructures, and hybrid nanostructures for various electronic and energy applications including rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, and flexible optoelectronic devices (OLED), among others. Dr. Whang is a co-leader of a joint research team of Samsung Electronics (Samsung) and SKKU that last year has developed an original technology to create a new material by synthesizing amorphous graphene for the first time in the world. This new material has low conductivity, which expands the use of graphene from the electronics industry to others, including desalination. Dr. Whang and Hwang Sung-woo, managing director of Nanoelectronics Lab Team at Samsung, jointly developed the technology to synthesize the large-area monatomic amorphous graphene called \"dream material\". Dr. Whang owns more than 50 patents, one third of which is co-owned with Samsung Electronics. He is the leader of Functional Nanomaterial Lab at SKKU and supervises two post-doctoral fellows, as well as 17 students, with 15 students on doctoral level. The Lab is financed by grants from both, the Korean government and Samsung.Samsung has been teamed up with Functional Nanomaterial Lab led by Dr. Whang for many years to develop, among others, a synthesis technology for a single-crystal graphene, capturing attention from industry and academia. The joint research team of Samsung and Functional Nanomaterial Lab attracted interest, both from the academic and industrial sectors, for developing the original technology for a large-scale synthesis of single-crystalline graphene (up to 5cm in size) on semiconductor wafers.\"We are very excited to have Dr. Dongmok Whang join our Advisory Board\" says Spencer Sung Bum Huh, President of Pan Andean Minerals, \"Dr. Whang brings a wealth of direct development expertise in the nanomaterials, OLED ...
