Jean Myung Jung (B.S., Engineering Mechanics)
Email: jmjung3@illinois.edu
I am an undergraduate student pursuing a B.S. degree in Engineering Mechanics by the spring semester of 2024. I joined the WPML in the junior year of undergraduate studies. I worked with Ph.D. student Connor Pierce on characterization of Magnetoactive Elastomers through Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and vibration studies of DMA experimental setup. In the summer of 2022 and 2023, I trained as an undergraduate researcher at Acoustics and Vibration Laboratory in Seoul National University. Besides academics, I love listening to music and watching sports highlights with friends.

I am a Junior majoring in Materials Science and Engineering, with a minor in Atmospheric Sciences. I joined the WPM Lab in February 2023 and began working with Ph.D. student Betsy Smith to explore Phononic Sonic Crystals and the effect of lattice structures on the attenuation and band gaps of sound waves. In my free time, I enjoy playing making music, watching movies, and going on runs.
