Simulation Engineer @ Air2O

About

As a Research Assistant at Arizona State University, I am pursuing my Master of Engineering degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, focusing on heat exchanger design optimization for the semiconductor industry. I have a Bachelor of Engineering degree in the same field from Sejong University, where I graduated with honors and received multiple scholarships. My core competencies include Ansys Fluent, Ansys Products, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), which I use to analyze and improve the performance of different design configurations. By applying MATLAB's Genetic Algorithm toolbox, I have optimized the shape of the heat exchanger and achieved a 20% improvement in heat transfer efficiency. I am passionate about finding innovative solutions to engineering challenges and contributing to the advancement of the field. I have been recognized for my academic and research excellence with the TSMC AZ Fellowship and the Master's Opportunity for Research in Engineering (MORE). I am eager to learn from and collaborate with other experts in the field and bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team.
