Yunji Woo, M.S. 2025

Yunji studied aerospace engineering, and started career as an aircraft engineer in Korean Air. She contributed to field engineering by carrying out US Air Force maintenance programs as a liaison engineer, and currently developing AI software to utilize on aircraft platforms. Yunji could bring about how policy and emerging technologies evolved, especially in the aerospace industry. She hopes to understand the direction of national policy and institutional consensus.

우윤지 학생은 항공우주공학을 공부했으며, 항공기 엔지니어로 근무하고 있습니다. 군용기 엔지니어로서 미군 F-15 전투기의 창정비 사업을 진행하였고, 현재는 항공기 플랫폼에 탑재하기 위한 AI를 개발하고 있습니다. 방위 산업에 종사하며 절차와 표준의 중요성을 체감하였으며, 신기술의 상용화를 위한 정책의 방향을 파악하고자 과학기술정책 공부를 시작했습니다. 항공우주산업 내의 다원화된 이슈 중에서 항공우주 산업정책, UAM, 인공지능에 관심을 갖고 있습니다.
