Research Summary

Chun's research is focused on innovation in manufacturing processes involving thermofluid phenomena during processing. He is the primary creator of patented processes for producing uniform metal droplets, monitoring solidification fronts non-invasively in metal casting, and coating photoresist in semi-conductor fabrication. His work has been included in numerous refereed publications. A former Vice President of an entrepreneurial business, Chun has brought to MIT an integration of business and scientific knowledge, resulting in curricular revisions and additions. One such example is his course Management in Engineering, which brings the expertise of business leaders into the classroom.
