Our research


Our mission is to tackle the world's most pressing challenges by leveraging cutting-edge digital technologies to drive real-world innovations and make a meaningful impact to our society. In mechanical engineering department, our laboratory applies fundamental theories of mechanics and computation to guide design decisions based on quantitative and systematic approaches. We always begin with fundamental principles—physics and mathematics—and use them to develop intelligent solutions for addressing complex real-world problems.

Specifically, our group is dedicated to the identification of flow physics characteristics and their application in advancing the quantitative analysis and prediction of complex physical phenomena. Our ultimate objective is to establish a highly intelligent and robust system design process that combines human intuition, physics, and data-driven decision-making. This integrated approach holds the potential to drive innovation in medical practice and engineering industry.

Our laboratory's full name is 'Flow Physics & Computational Engineering Innovation Lab' at Kyung Hee University while we prefer to use the name 'Flow-X Lab.' The '-X' in our abbreviated name signifies our capability to host any arbitrary, creative, cutting-edge, pilot-type innovative research within the realm of fluid mechanics. With this initiative, we aim to expand our horizons through out-of-box-thinking.  

Multidisciplinary research

We believe cross-discipline interaction is a key to bring innovation. We form multidisciplinary team to tackle important real-world problems, combining perspectives from: 

Translational medicine

Our laboratory formed a close collaboration with the Kyung Hee University School of Medicine / Hospital.
