Kangjae received his Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from KAIST, Korea in 2010 and Master's degree in mechanical engineering from Seoul National University, Korea in 2014. During his M.S. studies, he joined the Extreme Energy Laboratory performing experiments of remote laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with rock samples at low pressure, and participated in a project funded by National Research Foundation of Korea to develop a compact remote LIBS device that can be utilized on the rover head for lunar exploration. Kangjae received his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Florida in 2020. During his Ph.D. studies, he joined the Renewable Energy Conversion Laboratory and developed a unique laser-based heating system coupled with modular Raman spectroscopy for studying solar thermochemical fuel production. He participated in a U.S. Department of Energy funded project under the H2@Scale program to produce solar hydrogen more efficiently than the state of the art materials. His research interest is in the development and characterization of new redox materials for solar thermochemical fuel production as well as in designing and evaluating chemical reactors associated with the concentrating solar power system.
