Sangjin Jung

Assistant Professor

Dr. Sangjin Jung is an Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Materials Engineering. He has conducted research spanning the fields of additive manufacturing and product design. Prior to his current position, he was a Research Scientist in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, and he developed new computational design methods for metal additive manufacturing to optimize the consolidation of parts in an assembly system and redesign the system. He also worked as a Senior Research Engineer in the Production Engineering Research Institute at LG Electronics. His research interests include metal additive manufacturing, design for additive manufacturing, and product design, and he has published over 30 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers in these research areas.
