Sukkyung Kang
My research focuses on the phenomena arising from the physical contact between two engineered surfaces. The goal is to develop processing technologies that can create high-value, innovative products by precisely manipulating phenomena such as friction, wear, polishing, bonding, diffusion, adhesion, and deformation.
