PROF. YOUNG JIN KIM

Dr. Kim is a Professor and Director of the Energy Convergence Laboratory (ECL) in the Hannam University. His research focuses on energy systems like fuel cells, nuclear power plants and gas turbine systems. He has more than 20 years of experience in academia, industry and government on a number of joint government and industry projects to develop the next-generation, ultra-low emissions, high efficiency, high reliability, fuel flexible energy conversion systems for both land-based power generation and mobility propulsion applications (e.g. vehicles, ships, etc.). His research interests also include the development of various numerical analysis like computational fluid dynamics and finite element method with high performance computing. He has been collaborating with many major energy relevant organizations such as MOTIE, KIER, SNU, KICET, KEPCO-ENC and etc. Recently, he received a KETEP-sponsored grant in 2021 to do research on design and analysis for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack in conjunction with KIER and Bumhan Fuel Cell as national research institutes and industrial partners.
