Hee Yoon

Dr. Hee Yoon is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technische Universität Braunschweig. She completed her doctoral studies at the University of Tokyo's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and previously earned a master's degree from Seoul National University (SNU) in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

• University of Tokyo PhD (2024)
• Seoul National University MSc (2017)

Her research focuses on hypersonic flow dynamics and drag reduction technologies for aerospace applications. She conducts both experimental and computational analyses of turbulent transition phenomena in hypersonic inlet designs, with particular emphasis on counter-flow jet mechanisms and low Reynolds number regimes.

Recent publications demonstrate her expertise in numerical simulation methods (AIAA AVIATION 2023, Physics of Fluids 2024, AIP Conf. Proc. 2024) and computational fluid dynamics for aerospace systems. Her work spans both fundamental flow physics and applied aerodynamic optimization.

Scientific Recognition:

• 2025: International Strategy Forum (ISF) Fellow (1 of 100 globally)
• 2024: Korea Foundation Global Fellow

Dr. Yoon's practical experience includes two years as a researcher at Korea's Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and teaching roles at Woosong University and Ewha Womans University, where she instructed fluid mechanics and thermodynamics courses. Her current work contributes to TU Braunschweig's strategic research focus on mobility engineering and advanced aerospace technologies.
