Dr.DohoyJungisAssistantprofessorofMechanicalEngineering,Hisresearchinterestsareintheareaofvehiclethermal
management systems for conventional and hybrid vehicles. He developed an analytical model of a dieselhybrid
powertrain system integrated with a thermodynamicsbased cooling system for an offroad hybrid electric vehicle
(sponsored by General Dynamics Land Systems). He also developed design guidelines of vehicle cooling system
architecture for heavy duty serieshybrid electric vehicles sponsored by the US Army TARDEC Future Combat System
Program.Inaddition,Dr.Jungconductedaninvestigationontheadvancedvehiclethermalmanagementtechnologiesto
improve the fuel economy by reducing parasitic power consumption of the vehicle thermal management system
(sponsored by HyundaiKia America Tech. Center). Prior to his academic career, Dr. Jung worked at GMKorea as a
vehiclecoolingsystemresearchengineerfor5years.
AsamemberoftheCurriculumCommitteeoftheDepartmentofMechanicalEngineering,Dr.Jungisresponsibleforthe
development of ESE course series. He has developed two courses in energy related areas, one for the undergraduate
and another one graduate curriculum. Advanced Vehicle Energy Systems is a graduate course that covers advanced
technologies and recent technical developments in automotive energy conversion systems such as hybrid electric
vehicles,pluginhybrids,fuelcellvehicles,alternativefuelsandadvancedICengines.
