Ji Ho Jeon

Assistant Professor

School of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Manufacturing Engineering

Ji Ho Jeon joined our school as an Assistant Professor in August 2024. He earned his B.S. in Automotive Engineering from the University of Bath in 2014, followed by a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Seoul National University (SNU) in 2021. He further advanced his academic career as a postdoctoral fellow at SNU from 2021 to 2022 and as a research engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology from 2023 to 2024.

Dr. Jeon’s research spans a diverse range of areas, including high-rate and large-scale composite manufacturing processes, the recycling and repair of composite materials, and metal-composite joining techniques. His work on composite materials focuses on addressing sustainability and environmental challenges by leveraging extremely long discontinuous fiber composites, incorporating both synthetic and natural fibers. Additionally, he has expanded his research portfolio to include innovative hybrid surface post-processing for additively manufactured metal parts, achieved through the integration of electrochemical polishing with cavitation peening.
