Kyosung Choo

Dr. Kyosung Choo is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Youngstown State University's Rayen School of Engineering. He holds a PhD from KAIST, MS from KAIST, and BS from Handong University. Prior to YSU, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Maryland's Center for Environmental Energy Engineering.

Research focuses on thermal phenomena in additive manufacturing, two-phase flow systems, and electronics cooling. Key areas include heat transfer optimization in 3D printing, jet impingement for thermal management, and energy-efficient data center design.

Recent publications emphasize thermal modeling of metal additive processes (67% of 2022-2025 output) and battery thermal-electrical dynamics (33%). Analysis shows consistent innovation in experimental thermal characterization methods.
