Jae-Dong Chung

Jae-Dong Chung is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Sejong University, where he has maintained an active research program since March 2001 with 278 total research outputs including 62 SCI(E) papers in the last five years.

Education:

• Ph.D., Seoul National University, 1996
• M.S., Seoul National University, 1992
• B.S., Seoul National University, 1990

Research Focus: His work centers on thermal energy storage (latent/sensible/thermo-chemical systems) and heat-driven refrigeration (adsorption/desiccant technologies), extending into cutting-edge areas like nanofluid dynamics and fractional-order modeling. Current research integrates advanced computational methods with experimental thermal systems engineering.

Publication Trends: Recent 2025 publications reveal concentrated efforts in electric vehicle thermal management (battery cooling optimization, desiccant heat pumps) and nanofluid applications, with significant emphasis on adsorption cooling efficiency and thermal radiation modeling in complex fluid systems.

Professional Leadership: He serves as editor for two international journals and holds vice-presidential roles in academic societies (SAREK, KSME, KIPEC). Government advisory positions include MOLIT, City of Seoul, KECO, and KEMCO.

Research Facility: The Thermal Engineer Lab (https://thermalengineerlab.wixsite.com/home) drives his experimental and computational research in thermal systems optimization.
