Summary
🤩
RockstarWooyoung Jung is an assistant professor at the University of Arizona and director of the Human Building Synergy (HUBS) Lab, focused on creating smart, healthy, and energy-efficient built environments through IoT sensing and data-driven modeling. He combines academic leadership with practical systems engineering experience from roles at PNNL and contributions to EnergyPlus, where he improved core simulation code and test automation for a widely used building energy tool. Trained as a civil engineer with a PhD from Virginia Tech and an MS from Yonsei, he bridges building science, machine learning, and control to enable cognitive, self-adaptive, grid-interactive buildings. His work spans NSF- and ARPA-E-funded projects and standards efforts, reflecting both research rigor and policy-relevant impact. Beyond academia, he communicates technical ideas broadly—running a popular YouTube channel since 2017—and maintains hands-on development skills as a building research engineer.
