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.

2026 FIRE Student Photo Competition dedicated to high-temperature resistant materials
If you are a student or recent graduate (up to 5 years after graduation), we invite you to submit a photo showing a material being able to withstand the power of FIRE. Both refractory and another high temperature resistant material qualify. Whether it is from a lab or industrial environment, we would love to see what amazes you.
Highlight of the members of the Board of Directors - Victor Carlos Pandolfelli
My journey with FIRE began in 2003, together with Prof. Michel Rigaud and other academic and industrial colleagues. In 2005, our first official meeting in Limoges, France, transformed this vision into reality. From the beginning, FIRE was founded on a strong belief in cooperation between universities and industry towards a better education. Its strength has always come from working across institutional, cultural, and national borders.
