Juyoung Oh
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioJuyoung Oh is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University. Her research focuses on understanding and harnessing thermal runaway phenomena in rechargeable batteries to enable controllable propulsion thrust. With a strong background in the thermochemical analysis of metal-based solid energetic materials, her work aims to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms governing thermal runaway in lithium-metal batteries, with particular emphasis on interfacial chemistry and thermodynamic behavior. Through this approach, she seeks to integrate battery and thruster functionalities into a unified system, advancing next-generation aerospace–battery technologies.
Prior to joining Stanford, Dr. Oh was a Postdoctoral Associate at Rice University. She received her Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Seoul National University (SNU). Her academic achievements include the Best Doctoral Thesis Award (2022) and the Korean-American Women in Science and Engineering (KWiSE) Young Scientist Scholarship (2025). -
