Introduction Introduction

Prof. Kangil Choe is a Research Professor of Mechanical Engineering Dept. of Hanyang University Erica Campus.

He has been leading 13 Korean Government supported R&D projects in the area of Green Waste to Energy & Resources since he moved from Canada in 2015.

Previously he served <The Association of Korean-Canadian Scientists and Engineers> as president and became the founding organizer of the annual Canada-Korea Conference. He serves <Energies>, international journal in Energy sector, as a topic editor.

He has 36 years of R&D and business experience at various institutions such as university, research center and venture company.

Thanks to the strong community activities and leadership he has received Korean President Awards twice and Industry & Energy Ministry Award.

He graduated from Mechanical Engineering of Columbia University in 1994 for his Ph.D. & M.S. after his M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from NYU-Polytech University. He marrried with Jengnam 1984 and has four daughters, Hannah, Sarah, Esther, and Christine.
