Biography of Mo Chung

Mo Chung is a visiting scholar on a three-year sabbatical from Yeungnam University, Korea where he is a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Mo completed his BS and MS from Seoul National University in 1980 and 1982. In 1990 he received his PhD in mechanical engineering from UCLA. His major fields are heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, and applied mathematics. He worked several years as a researcher at Hyundai Motor Company and the Korean Institute Energy Research.

Mo is a part of Professor Talke's group where he is working on analytical and/or numerical solutions of partial differential equations involving lubrication, media dynamics and heat transfer related topics. Whenever he feels a headache coming on from these math problems, he likes to take a look at his colleague's experiments to satisfy his own curiosity on newly developing high-techs such as nano-technology.

Mo is joined by his wife, a daughter newly enrolled at UCSD, and a son in high school. As a tennis buff he translated Vic Braden's "Tennis 2000", an international best selling instruction book, into Korean. He also enjoys traveling, especially to national parks in the West.
