Professor
Professor Jongguen Lee is a faculty member at the University of Cincinnati, specializing in combustion and propulsion systems. His research focuses on combustion dynamics in gas turbines, ramjets, and rocket propulsion, with expertise in laser-based diagnostics, supersonic combustion, and combustion control. He collaborates with major industries like GE Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, and NASA. His work addresses challenges in combustion instability, fuel-air mixing, and multi-phase combustion processes. Recent projects include studies on O2-CO2 combustion for carbon capture and satellite data analysis for riverine phosphorus quantification using machine learning. He has secured federal and industry grants totaling over $140,000, including roles as PI in programs like the Aerospace Propulsion Outreach Program (APOP). His publications span journals such as Flow, Turbulence and Combustion and Atomization and Sprays , with a focus on jet dynamics, spray characterization, and combustion diagnostics. Notable collaborations include AFRL-Wright Patterson, NASA-GRC, and DOE NETL. His research bridges theoretical models and practical applications in aerospace propulsion and environmental sustainability.
