Jae Jong Byun

Jae started his PhD studies under the School of Materials and Electrical and Electronics Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Suelen Barg and Prof. Sandy Smith in October 2018. He is a materials science and engineering graduate from The University of Manchester focusing on composites and nanomaterials. During his undergraduate studies he has worked with freeze casting of 2D materials with the aim of building three dimensional functional hierarchical structures as well as the development of novel composite materials. In his PhD study, he aims to explore a novel approach to the design and manufacture of components and materials to aid the electrification within the aerospace industry. His PhD studies are funded by EPSRC through the CDT in Materials for Demanding Environment and Rolls Royce.
