Jinwook joined the Department of Chemical Engineering in 2021 after earning his B.S. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Seoul National University the same year. Primarily advised by Prof. Richard D. Braatz, he joined the Bazant group as a co-advised PhD student in September 2025. Before officially joining the group, he worked on interpretable approaches for optimizing pulse diagnostics and formation protocols for lithium-ion batteries in close collaboration with the Bazant group. Now, he is applying his expertise in data analytics and feature engineering to extract physical insights from the acoustic emission measurements that complement well-established electrochemical measurements. In his free time, he enjoys watching and playing baseball, taking walks, and watching movies.
