Jihoon Jeong, Ph.D.

Jihoon Jeong is an assistant professor in the Wm Michael Barnes '64 Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Texas A&M University. He is interested in understanding advanced manufacturing processes and enabling process control, via novel metrology such as laser spectroscopy and imaging techniques. He is now a postdoctoral scholar at Northwestern University. We are looking for highly motivated researchers, including graduate students (Fall 2024, Spring 2025, Fall 2025), postdoctoral scholars (2024-2025), and visiting scholars in broad areas of industrial engineering (advanced manufacturing and data science), mechanical engineering (thermal science, advanced manufacturing, and design), physics (optics & spectroscopy), and materials science (metals and characterization). Please send your CV and statements to Jihoon (jihoonjeong AT tamu DOT edu).
