Hansohl Cho

Hansohl Cho is a Faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST. His research focuses on Mechanical Engineering, with an emphasis on mechanics and extremes, including solid mechanics, condensed matter, and materials under extreme conditions. His work explores large deformation, flow, and interactions of solids and condensed matter, aiming to design better materials and devices in extreme settings. Cho is actively involved in academic collaborations and has been invited to present at several international conferences, including the 17th World Congress on Computational Mechanics and the 20th U.S. Nat. Cong. on Theoretical and Appl. Mech. He also co-organizes symposiums and engages in educational outreach by recruiting students for research.

Hansohl Cho is a researcher at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) specializing in Solid Mechanics and Continuum Mechanics. His work focuses on the mechanical behavior of materials under extreme conditions, including the deformation mechanisms of thermoplastic elastomers, constitutive modeling of high strain-rate elastomeric polymers, and the non-Schmid effect in body-centered-cubic crystals. Cho's research also explores the mechanics of heterogeneous soft crystals, dissipation and resilience of elastomeric segmented copolymers, and size-dependent fracture in elastomers. His studies integrate experimental and computational approaches to understand micro-mechanical stress conditions and damage evolution in polycrystal materials.
