Sunghwan Jung is a Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005 and has held postdoctoral research positions at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, and served as a math instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research primarily explores the physics and biology of problems arising from the interaction of biological systems with their surrounding environments. He integrates mathematical modeling with fluid dynamics and conducts physical and biological experiments to understand various phenomena, such as animal behaviors and plant physiology. Through his research group, he investigates mechanics problems involving deformable interfaces in fluids, including biofluid nonlinear dynamics, to develop experimental designs and mathematical models that enhance the understanding of biological systems. Jung aims to train students from diverse backgrounds to perform multidisciplinary research while mastering fundamental concepts in biology, physics, and engineering.
