Jinsung Lee

Hi! My name is Jinsung Lee. I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. I am a member of the Strategic Aerospace Initiative under the advisement of Professor Jaemyung Ahn. I received a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering Astro-Track from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott in 2018, and a M.S. degree in Space Exploration Engineering at the Satellite Technology Research Center located at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.

My areas of expertise are...

Low-thrust trajectory optimization
Multi-body dynamics
Space mission design and analysis

I grew up in Tampa (FL), Honolulu (HI), and Prescott (AZ). I am happily married, and my wife and I are proud parents of our baby, Sunghan. I live by the grace and love of God. I value my family, friends, fellowship, and research.
