Graduate Students
Hanyoung Kim is a graduate student at AFREL and ExTENsys lab (main supervisor: Distinguished Prof. Kyung Chun Kim) in PNU. He is now working on the RLRC (EPIC in PNU) project related to MILD co-combustion of methane/hydrogen/ammonia. His research interests include visualization of MILD combustion fueled by ammonia.
Yi Ui Hyung is a part-time graduate student at AFREL, PNU. He joined our lab in Sep. 2024 and started his Ph.D. course. He is now working in Busan Machniery Research Center at Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials as a senior engineer as well. His research interests include ammonia-fueled maritime engine and its emission characteristics.
Hobin Jeon is a graduate student at AFREL, PNU. He joined our lab in July 2025. His research interests include NH3 combustion with cracking ammonia (including N2, H2, and active species) on swirl burner experiments and its simulation with chemical kinetics.
