Embedded Files
2026.08.30 - 2026.09.04 KIMSLAB participated in 2026 NASA Thermal Fluids Analysis Workshop hosted by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center at Huntsville, Alabama. Dr. Sunjae Kim, Yusin, and Dominic visited NASA MSFC and presented our multiphase CFD research results for "Machine-Learning Coupled Phase Change Closure Model Based on Interfacial Heat Flux Discontinuity".Β Meaningful questions and engaging discussions from NASA engineers and researchers continued after our presentation which provided valuable insights to further improve our new model!Β
Special thanks to NASA engineers for your valuable insights for the KIMSLAB's new model.Β

π§βπSpace Gator in Korea - Sanjay attending NSF IRES-HSTC Scholar Β programΒ
2026.06 - 2026.08 For nearly two months, Sanjay Karthik, an undergraduate research intern at KIMSLAB, participated in the NSF-IRES Hydrogen Ship Technology Center (HSTC) Scholars Program in Busan, South Korea π’βοΈ
During his research stay, Sanjay collaborated with researchers at Pusan National University to investigate advanced multilayer insulation (MLI) incorporating glass microspheres, a promising approach for enhancing the structural and thermal performance of cryogenic insulation systems for onboard cryogenic liquid storage.
We are excited to see Sanjay gain valuable international research experience while contributing to emerging technologies at the intersection of cryogenic engineering, hydrogen transportation, and maritime energy systems. Congratulations on a productive summer research experience! π
