Joonhee Kim

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the POSTECH Future IT Innovation Laboratory, working with Prof. Soohee Han. I work on lithium-ion battery diagnosis and control by connecting electrochemical models and artificial intelligence. In particular, my research focuses on a physical digital twin framework for next-generation battery management systems. I am currently expanding my research into the robotics domain to develop advanced energy management solutions. I completed my Ph.D. at POSTECH in 2026 under the guidance of Prof. Soohee Han.
