To future colleagues

We warmly welcome your interest and look forward to meeting you. Our research themes resonate with a wide range of academic backgrounds, not only mechanical engineering, but also theoretical and applied sciences, as well as data science. We focus on the intersection of machine learning and applied science to tackle planetary thermodynamic and kinetic challenges in materials and processes. If you have a clear vision and a passion for active research, please feel free to contact Heonjae.
