About
Jae-Won Oh is a mechanical and ocean engineering researcher whose work centers on deep-seabed mining systems, multibody dynamics, and the design and simulation of underwater robotic systems. His research has made significant contributions to the engineering challenges of extracting mineral resources from extreme deep-ocean environments, where factors such as high water pressure, fluid resistance, and complex mechanical interactions demand innovative solutions. Oh's most influential work, "A study of the kinematic characteristic of a coupling device between the buffer system and the flexible pipe of a deep-seabed mining system" (2014, 34 citations), established foundational insights into how coupling mechanisms govern the motion of interconnected components — including the mining robot, buffer system, and flexible pipe — within integrated deep-seabed mining configurations. Building on this, his 2022 simulation study advanced dynamic analysis methodologies using multibody dynamics, enabling more accurate modeling of complete mining systems under harsh subsea conditions. His additional contributions span tribological analysis of deep-sea robot rollers, optimized curve-driving strategies for tracked underwater vehicles, and structural safety estimation of lifting pump mountings. Notably, Oh contributed to the development and evaluation of KRISO's pilot mining robot, MineRo, helping bridge numerical modeling with real-world deep-sea engineering applications. His body of work represents a steady and technically rigorous contribution to the emerging field of deep-sea resource extraction.
