PROGRAMME

Mr. Ha not only has worked as Senior Surveyor at Korean Register since 2012 but also studies as a PhD candidate at Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. His research focuses on the lifecycle assessment for marine fuels in terms of marine policy. Prior to a PhD candidate, he had served as the Technical Secretary of IACS Environmental Panel for three years while dealing with and corresponding to various maritime environmental issues. He had also worked as an approval engineer for five years for ship’s piping system approval at drawing approval center at Korean Register. Prior to the appointment, he worked at Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. Ltd as a sea-going marine engineer over five years. His practical experience is wide-ranging from operating on-board machinery to class-related work. He is currently a director of finance of the Europe-Korea Marine and Ocean Engineering Association (EKMOA).

Dr Bae started his professional career at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) as a naval architect. For almost 15 years, he performed a wide range of tasks from commercial vessels, passenger ships, and offshore supply to military vessels. In order to broaden and strengthen his theoretical knowledge, he achieved an MSc degree with distinction at the University of Southampton in 2018. Now, he is working for the Maritime Safety Research Centre (MSRC) as a PhD researcher. His research focuses on cruise ship safety improvement especially based on the crashworthiness analysis with various risk control options in terms of damage stability perspective.

Dr Byongug Jeong currently works as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) of Marine Engineering while teaching and researching various types of marine systems across technical, environmental, and safety perspectives. Prior to this role, he worked at the Korean Register as a marine surveyor for over six and half years. During this time, he had the following commitments/responsibilities: Drawing approvals of cargo vessels and engine systems / Contribution to updating maritime rules and regulations for ships and engines / R&D on engine systems applicable to commercial vessels focusing on regulation, design, and feasibility / Training junior staff and providing technical consultancy to clients for marine systems and regulations. He also worked at Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. Ltd, for over three years, as a marine engineer on board five merchant ships: an LNG carrier, two container ships, and two bulk carriers. His experience, therefore, is wide-ranging from looking after on-board machinery to classification-related work, which is an essential element to cultivating seagoing marine engineers. He presently serves as the president of the Europe-Korea Marine and Ocean Engineers Association (EKMOA).

Yong Sung Ahn has been working for the Korea Maritime Institute(KMI), and also leading and participating in planning the national strategies and related researches as a member of the main national committees in Korea.
Recently, he has focused on Shipping and Ports' Climate change and Air pollution Response Policy and Technology development, and Digital-twin/M&S system design using IoT, AI techs and big data.

Chybyung Park is currently studying as a PhD candidate of Marine Engineering at the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering, University of Strathclyde. Prior to the appointment, Mr Park worked at Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd as a ship engineer for seven years. The experience of plenty of machine operation and maintenance on several merchant ships which are various sizes of container ships are capable of not only suggesting more practically and efficiently what is necessary for the upcoming change of future ships, but also allowing review of various possibilities. He has been involved in R&D projects on ship life cycle technology, and new and renewable energy risk assessment.

Dr. Mingyu Kim had worked for Hyundai Heavy Industries as a senior researcher at their Research Institute since 2001. In 2008, he moved to Department of the Preliminary Ship Design at Hyundai as a senior naval architect. Since 2014 he had worked as a Research Associate at the University of Strathclyde, UK, and as a Research Professor at the Pusan National University, Korea. Currently he is working as the Head of Research for Korea Center for International Maritime Safety Cooperation. He has wide-ranging research interests, mainly in marine technology, and maritime policy and strategy.

Dr Kim currently works for University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) as an associate professor, and he is responsible for several lectures and research projects in autonomous ship safety. Prior to current position, he worked for Norwegian University of Science and Technologies (NTNU) as a postdoctoral research fellow for two and a half years after obtaining his doctoral degree in maritime safety at the same university. He started his professional career at SAMSUNG Heavy Industries in South Korea as a naval architect. For seven years, he was involved with a large number of research and shipbuilding projects. He obtained this master and bachelor degrees in naval architecture and ocean engineering at Seoul National University in South Korea. He is currently a director of academic services of the Europe-Korea Marine and Ocean Engineering Association (EKMOA).

Dr Seong-yeob Lee currently works for Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) as a senior researcher of international maritime research center. He mainly focuses on eco-friendly ship technologies to comply with initial IMO GHG strategy. Prior to this role, he worked at Hyundai Heavy Industries as a senior researcher. He was involved with a large number of research projects developing liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage system, LNG fuel gas supply system, cargo handling system for LNG carrier and bunkering shuttle, offshore LNG bunkering terminal, etc. He obtained his doctoral and master degrees in mechanical engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and bachelor degree in mechanical engineering at Ajou University in South Korea.
