Biography

Prof. Kim graduated with B.Eng. in Aeronautical Engineering from Seoul National University; M.Eng.Sci. in Materials Engineering from Monash University; and PhD in composite materials from Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sydney. He was an ARC Postdoctoral Research Fellow (1992-1993), then started his faculty career at Australian National University (1993-1994) before joining the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 1994. Prof. Kim had visiting appointments with University of Tokyo and Nanyang Technological University on a Tan Chin Tuan Exchange Fellowship (1998); and has been a Visiting Professor at Center for Advanced Materials Technology, University of Sydney since 2012. He served as Associate Dean of Engineering (2007-2011). Before retirement, He was a Chair Professor at HKUST and directs the Finetex-HKUST R & D Center and the Advanced Engineering Materials Facilities. 

Prof. Kim’s research is focused on advanced materials, ranging from fiber-reinforced composites to nanocomposites with graphene, carbon nanotubes,  nanoclay and 2D materials, and to nanostructured materials for various energy storage applications. He has written well over 350 refereed journal papers, 12 book chapters, 15 books including three authored research monographs, and holds 12 international patents. His research team has been honored with 12 Best Paper Awards from international conferences and competitions. Currently, Prof. Kim holds editorial positions for a number of journals as Editor (Composites Part A), Associate Editor (Aerospace Science and Technology) and Editorial Board Members (Energy Storage Materials, Nanoscale Horizons, etc.). He served as the President of the Asian-Australasian Association of Composites Materials (AACM) (2008-2010); and is elected Fellows of the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences (HKAES), the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE). He is a Highly Cited Researcher in Materials Science by Clarivate Analytics (Web of Science).
