Highlight of FIRE Academic Members - Seoul National University

Prof. In-Ho Jung, Professor at Seoul National University: " Since 2013, many graduate students have visited my research group, and I have been actively involved in FIRE summer schools". 

I joined FIRE in 2013 as an academic member. From 2013 to 2017, I represented McGill University in Canada, and I now represent Seoul National University in South Korea.

My research area is Thermodynamics and Phase diagram related to Refractory.

It is always rewarding to see the interest that FIRE company members and graduate students have in my research.

Over the years, I have welcomed many graduate students to my research group and have had the opportunity to contribute actively to FIRE Summer Schools.

I am very honored to be part of FIRE's academic community.

Most importantly, I am happy to educate future leaders of refractory and general pyrometallurgy sector.
