Experience
Graduate Research Assistant, Mississippi State University, MS Aug 2014-present
 Lightning Strike Research on Composite Materials
- Performing laboratory-scale lightning strike tests on carbon/epoxy laminates and stitched
composite structural panel (Pultruded Rod Stitched Efficient Unitized Structure, PRSEUS).
- Developing nonlinear transient ABAQUS finite element model to predict lightning-induced
thermal damage in carbon/epoxy laminates and PRSEUS panel.
Design Release Engineer, General Motors (GM) Korea, South Korea Jul 2013-Jul 2014
 Developed front and rear bumper and fascia systems, ensuring all structural performance
requirements and safety criteria for model year 2016 Chevrolet Captive (Crossover Utility Van).
 Conduced feasibility studies on developing hybrid composite impact beams.
Researcher, Research & Development Center, OCI Comp., South Korea Jun 2010-Jun 2013
 Developed a green and cost-effective coal tar pitch-based carbon fiber (CPBCF) manufacturing
process for an ultra-high temperature thermal applications.
 Developed scaling-up process from lab to production scale (target: 50 MT/Yr).
 Optimized CPBCF and its composite manufacturing process.
 Active collaboration had involved industry, university, and government-funded research institutes.
This research was fully funded by the Ministry of Knowledge Economy of Korea.
Graduate Research Assistant, Mississippi State University, MS Jan 2008-May 2010
 Conducted tensile, compressive, and flexural tests on vapor-grown carbon nanofiber/ vinyl ester
(VGCNF/VE) composite test coupons.
 Characterized the effects of material/processing parameters (fiber type, fiber volume fraction, use
of a dispersing agent, and type of a mixing method) on tensile, compressive, and flexural response
of VGCNF/VE composites using a linear response surface model
