Research Opportunities for Motivated Students!

I am looking for motivated undergraduate, graduate students, and/or postdoctoral researchers who are interested in joining my research group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of South Florida (USF).

Our research focuses on fundamental and applied combustion science, with particular interests in:

  • Gas turbine combustion and propulsion
  • Detonation and rotating detonation engines (RDEs)
  • Combustion instabilities and thermoacoustics
  • Fuel injection, spray dynamics, and ignition
  • Experimental diagnostics and computational modeling of reactive flows

Students with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or related fields are encouraged to reach out. Prior research experience is beneficial but not required. Curiosity, motivation, and a strong interest in research are especially important.

If you are interested in joining our group, please send your CV and a brief description of your research interests to my email (jeongwonkim@usf.edu).

I look forward to hearing from prospective students!
