Program Details

PhD Topic

The PhD topic for this program focuses on thermodynamic databases and process simulation.

Research Focus

The High Temperature Thermochemistry Lab is a key development group for the FactSage software and databases. These resources are widely used in process metallurgy and material science and engineering worldwide. The lab's research concentrates on developing thermodynamic and physical property databases for metals and oxides in high-temperature processes. Additionally, it develops kinetic process simulation models for these processes.

Research Areas

• Thermodynamic databases
  • Development of databases for metals and oxides
  • Application in high-temperature processes
• Process simulation
  • Kinetic process simulation models
  • Integration with thermodynamic databases for comprehensive process understanding

Program Location and Supervision

The program is based in the High Temperature Thermochemistry Lab at Seoul National University, under the supervision of Professor In-Ho Jung.
