This prestigious recognition honors Yoon\u2019s exemplary contributions to engineering education, innovative research, and community engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoon was honored at the 66th Annual PSEC Engineer of the Year Awards Banquet on Saturday, April 26, at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Dean Jennifer McLoud-Mann had the honor of introducing Yoon and welcoming him up to the stage to accept his award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe lives the mission of our School of STEM, transforming lives \u2014 one student at a time,\u201d said Dean McLoud-Mann. \u201cFrom supporting first-generation college students here in Washington to mentoring Korean students across the globe, Yoon\u2019s reach is both personal and far-reaching.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A leader in innovation and impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoon directs the Smart Medical Devices Lab at UW Bothell, where his research bridges mechanical engineering, robotics, and biomedical devices. His work focuses on developing cutting-edge technologies to improve the lives of individuals with physical disabilities and to support caregiving tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among his most impactful projects is the development of a smart multifunction toilet wheelchair \u2014 a device designed to restore dignity and independence for users, while enhancing safety and efficiency for caregivers. His lab also explores minimally invasive surgical robotics, multi-modal medical imaging, and neural interfaces for assistive technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoon\u2019s work has led to multiple patents and has received support from agencies including the Washington State Department of Labor &amp; Industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A global perspective, a local commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoon brings a diverse range of experience to UW Bothell. He previously served as an assistant professor at Qatar University and worked as a research engineer at Samsung Electro-Mechanics. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington, where he developed an automated bladder imaging system using a novel scanning fiber endoscope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since joining UW Bothell in 2014, Yoon has become an integral part of the School of STEM \u2014 offering students a unique opportunity to learn from a global innovator with deep roots in interdisciplinary, application-driven research. As a founding faculty member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/undergraduate\/majors\/mechanical\">Mechanical Engineering bachelor\u2019s program<\/a>, Yoon was instrumental in developing the undergraduate program curriculum and overseeing the program\u2019s review for the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mentorship that matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to his research, Yoon is a dedicated educator and mentor. He supported students in founding the campus chapter of the American Society for Mechanical Engineers in 2016 and still serves as their adviser. He also advises the TrickFire Robotics Club, helping students apply their classroom knowledge to real-world engineering challenges. Under his guidance, student teams have competed in national competitions such as the NASA Robotic Mining Competition and the University Rover Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serving as an adviser since the start of the Eco-car club in 2022 (which was renamed in 2024 from The Electrical Motorsports club), Yoon supported the UW Bothell team participating in the EV Grand Prix, an electric go-kart race for collegiate teams hosted by Purdue University in 2023. Looking ahead, the club is focused on the annual Shell Eco-marathon Americas competition at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2026. The Eco-car club designs and builds small, energy-efficient electric cars from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His emphasis on hands-on learning and student engagement reflects the core values of the School of STEM \u2014 providing opportunities, collaboratively engaging with our community and empowering students to become innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders in their fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PSEC recognizing excellence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35109\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/05\/stem-faculty-jong-yoon-psec2-standard-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yoon giving remarks during the award banquet at The Museum of Flight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The PSEC Academic Engineer of the Year Award is awarded annually to an individual who demonstrates outstanding achievement in academic engineering and research. Yoon was nominated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Western Washington Section in recognition of his significant and ongoing contributions to both academia and the broader engineering community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on the significance of this recent award, Yoon emphasized the personal and professional fulfillment he has found in mentoring students and serving the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile time-consuming, my service to student groups as well as professional and local communities has been deeply rewarding and fulfilling \u2014 especially witnessing students grow, which has been truly priceless,\u201d he shared. \u201cI strongly believe that students who engage in extracurricular activities are more motivated, and that this experience is positively related to academic performance and leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please join us in congratulating Yoon on this well-deserved recognition.
