Kun-Jun Han is an Associate Professor at the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center, affiliated with the School of Plant, Environmental and Soil Sciences within the College of Agriculture. His research focuses on forage crop improvement, biofuel feedstock development, and soil health enhancement. He leads the Forage Quality Lab, which provides analytical support for forage nutritional value assessment.
Education: Han holds a Ph.D. in Agronomy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2001) and multiple degrees in Animal Sciences from Seoul National University, including a Ph.D. (1995), M.S. (1989), and B.S. (1987).
Research Interests: His work emphasizes sustainable agricultural practices, including nondestructive forage analysis using NIRS, cover crop impacts on soil health, and optimization of biofuel feedstock production. Key areas include legume integration in pastures, silage quality evaluation, and climate-resilient forage systems.
Grants & Funding: Han has secured over $1.2 million in grants from USDA programs, the United Sorghum Checkoff, and others, supporting projects on soil health, forage radish benefits, and biofuel crop management.
Labs/Teams: The Forage Quality Lab collaborates with extension programs and industry stakeholders to improve forage utilization and livestock productivity. Recent efforts include developing machine learning tools for weed identification and evaluating biochar effects on crop productivity.
