SENIOR INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEER / SENIOR MECHANICAL ENGINEER/ ESTIMATOR - INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEER

Most of Institutes, and Companies in Korea considered an age, though I have experienced a highly and dynamic activities based on R&D and Industrial Engineering Circles. And I want to spread my capability internationally.

1. Industry Best Practices and Regulatory Compliance based on Fracture Mechanics and Code & Standards:
2. Structural Integrity Assessment and Safety Investigation in Petrochemical plant, Nuclear Power Plant, Fossil Power Plant, Fusion Engineering etc. according to API, ASME Sec. III, VIII & XI, ASME ANSI B31, RCC-MRx (or RCC-MR), R6 Codes et al.
3. Evaluation Pressure Vessel and Pipe System with Fitness for Service (FFS) according to API 579 & ASME Sec. VIII/ XI
4. Risk based Inspection (RBI) and Process Safety Management (PSM) based on API 581, and Quantitative Management Assessment (QMA) system based on ANSI B31.8 & 31.8s
5. Resolve Technical Problems for (Aged or Long Serviced) Operating Facilities :
5-1. Structural Evaluation to provide Technical Service from corrosion pitting, crack, wall thinning, material degradation in weld region, hydrogen damage, rupture, and creep etc.
6. Material Degradation Evaluation, and Remaining Life Assessment based on stress analysis, and Microstructure observation.
7. Fracture Morphology Observation using SEM to evaluate Fracture Behavior; Brittle, Ductile, Fatigue fracture et al.

*I have finished 4 semesters including ESL (English as a Second Language) in MBA, but I have not yet graduated it due to an unexpected job opportunity in Korea. I returned to Korea to resume my career at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). Whenever the circumstances are favorable to me, I will resume the study in some way or other.
