Biography of Ho-Jong Kang

Professor Ho-Jong Kang received his B.S. degree from the Yonsei University in 1982 and M.S degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 1985. He received Ph.D. from University of Akron, Polymer Engineering in 1989. Dissertation under Prof. J.L. White which was focused research on the relatively new polymer processing area of dynamics and structure development on double bubble tubular film From 1989 through 1990, he was working at the University of Akron as a general faculty. He is now working at Dankook University , Seoul Korea as an associate professor in department of polymer science and engineering since 1990.

His research activities are directed at developing advanced polymer processing technology and understanding of structure and property relationships in polymer processing. Research program focuses on the polymer rheology , film processing, fiber processing and composite processing. Current research aims the developing high performance polymeric film and fiber. An area of special emphasis is the electromagnetic properties of composites materials. In addition to fundamental polymer processing work, several projects are aims at understanding interfacial phenomena of polymer/polymer and polymer/metal system.
