About

Jungkeun Oh is a dedicated researcher in marine engineering and biofouling management, with a primary focus on advancing cleaning technologies for ship hulls. His key research areas include high-pressure water-jet cleaning systems, biofouling removal efficiency, and the development of robotic cleaning solutions for complex ship structures. Oh’s major contribution lies in his systematic evaluation of factors influencing cleaning performance, particularly for biofouling removal using high-pressure water jets. His 2024 study, which has garnered 6 citations, critically analyzes the limitations of traditional cleaning methods—such as brush cleaning and dock-based high-pressure jets—in addressing biofouling in niche areas like bow thrusters and sea chests. This work underscores the necessity for robotic cleaning systems to enhance operational efficiency and environmental sustainability. By identifying key performance variables, Oh provides a foundational framework for designing more effective, automated cleaning protocols. His research is instrumental for students and engineers seeking to optimize maintenance strategies in the maritime industry, reducing fuel consumption and preventing invasive species transfer. Oh’s work continues to shape the future of eco-friendly ship maintenance.
