Thank you for stopping by! I am Junyoung Kim, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kumoh National Institute of Technology (KIT). I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Advanced Buildings Equipment Research Group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). I received my PhD degree from Purdue, where I worked with Prof. James E. Braun and Prof. Davide Ziviani at the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories in Mechanical Engineering. Before my PhD, I worked at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in South Korea and received my MS degree at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.

I am interested in diverse engineering problems of thermodynamic systems, including cooling and heating systems, energy and building technologies, and energy conversion devices. I use both experimental and computational methods for the design and analysis of thermal systems.
