Chae Hoon Sohn is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Sejong University's College of Engineering, where he has been employed since 2007. Previously, he served as Assistant Professor at Chosun University (2002-2007) and held research positions at Korea Aerospace Research Institute (1999-2002) and Korea Institute of Science and Technology (1998-1999). He completed his academic training at Seoul National University, earning a B.S. (1992), M.S. (1994), and Ph.D. (1998) in Mechanical Engineering.
Professor Sohn's educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Seoul National University (1998)
- M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Seoul National University (1994)
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Seoul National University (1992)
His research spans combustion engineering, liquid propulsion, and acoustics, with particular expertise in combustion instability mechanisms, rocket engine design, and flame dynamics. His laboratory conducts fundamental research on combustion processes while developing practical applications for industrial implementation. Notable research areas include the development of post-processing tools for instability analysis, flame structure characterization, pollutant emission reduction, and acoustic noise control in propulsion systems.
Analysis of his 101+ publications reveals a consistent focus on combustion instability throughout his career, with recent work (2021-2025) emphasizing hydrogen combustion applications, alternative aviation fuels, and advanced analytical techniques like Dynamic Mode Decomposition. His research bridges theoretical combustion science with practical engineering applications in aerospace propulsion systems.
Professor Sohn leads the Combustion and Propulsion Laboratory (CPLab) at Sejong University, which maintains specialized facilities including shock tubes and laminar flow reactors for advanced combustion research. His collaborative network extends internationally, evidenced by his visiting scholar position at Princeton University (2012-2013) and numerous international co-authored publications.
