Dr. Juntae Kim
Hello,
I am Juntae Kim, a researcher working at the intersection of animal science, meat science, and biosystems engineering.
My research focuses on developing intelligent systems that address practical challenges in livestock and animal-derived food production. I currently conduct research at Chungnam National University and teach at Chungbuk National University.
By integrating sensing, artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, and digital twin technologies, I work on slaughterhouse automation, non-destructive quality assessment of livestock products, livestock monitoring, smart production systems for edible insects, and process optimization in animal-derived food production.
My work goes beyond the development of individual technologies, with the ultimate goal of creating integrated engineering systems that can be deployed in real-world livestock and food production environments.
