About
Dr. Kyung Min Jeong is a leading researcher in nuclear safety and disaster robotics, with a focus on developing resilient technologies for extreme environments. Her work centers on quantifying the safety benefits of robots in nuclear accident response, particularly after the Fukushima disaster, where she pioneered methods to assess how remote systems can mitigate risks during beyond-design-basis events. A key contribution is her 2017 study (25 citations) that introduced a novel framework for evaluating robot safety benefits, influencing post-Fukushima emergency protocols. Dr. Jeong also investigates the performance of critical robotic components under high radiation, such as CCD/CMOS cameras and notebook PCs, which serve as the "eyes" and control units of disaster robots. Her 2014 work on camera speckling under gamma-ray exposure (14 citations) and notebook PC resilience (3 citations) provides essential data for designing radiation-hardened systems, using real-world data from TEPCO’s containment atmospheric monitoring system. With over 42 total citations, her research bridges robotics and nuclear engineering, offering practical solutions for safe remote operations in hazardous environments. Her achievements include advancing robot deployment strategies for nuclear plants, making her a key figure in disaster response innovation.
