Kwonse Kim

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

Research Interests: Ignition Kernel Formation, Capacitive Discharge, Matching Effect of High Voltage, Plasma Jet Ignition

Kwonse received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Kongju National University in South Korea in 2018. During his graduate study, he applied numerical and experimental methods based on “Matching Effect of High-Voltage plasma energy” as characterize High voltage plasma, arc plasma ignition, jet plasma, natural gas injection system and exhaust system in internal combustion engines.

He Joined the Plasma and Combustion Research Lab (PCRL) at Mississippi State University as a postdoc from 2018 to 2019. He worked on the effect of the plasma jet ignition and flame kernel, understanding of the spark effect of electron collision by a capacitive discharge ignition and evaluation of the ignition effect based on Matching Effect of High Voltage (MEHV) method in a Constant Volume Combustion Chamber (CVCC) at PCRL.

Research Interests:

  • Ignition Kernel Formation
  • Capacitive Discharge
  • Matching Effect of High Voltage
  • Plasma Jet Ignition
