Professor Chung-Hwan(Steve) Jeon worked as the Vice- President of External Affairs for Research and (Inter)National Collaboration at Pusan National University.
He has established and supervises several major research organizations at the university. In the energy field where he focuses, PCERI(Pusan Clean Energy Research Institute) has been conducting world-leading research accelerating the development of carbon-free energy. He has served as the chairman of the ammonia co-fired demonstration planning committee of the government's energy transition policy, and is pursuing a project to convert power plants to green energy(ammonia) fuel starting this year. He has been appointed Director of the Korea(PNU)-Australia(UoN, University of Newcastle) Global Hub Center, designed for green energy(ammonia) production and utilization for international cooperation.
From 2019 to present, he has been working as the director of the ‘Industry-coupled PBL Consortium’ of the future talent training project linked to industry. This research group is a consortium of four national universities and selects topics proposed by local industries as capstone design tasks, and graduate student(team leader), undergraduate students, advisors, and industrial mentors collaborate.
In particular, in PNU ‘Glocal Project’, he is in charge of campus specialization, industry-academia cooperation, and globalization, and is currently striving to strategically promote global cooperation and exchange at the university level in research and education with Newcastle University in Australia
Professor Jeon has served as a technical advisor to a number of Korean energy companies and has contributed to many national key projects on combustion and gasification, IGCC, and major projects related to energy plants. As a result, Professor Jeon published more than 300 technical papers in the SCI journals and other domestic academic journals.
