Jeoung Han Kim, Ph.D.

    Dr. J.H. Kim is a Professor of the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at Hanbat National University since 2014. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Metallurgical Engineering at Korea University(www.korea.ac.kr). After then, he obtained his Master's degree and Ph.D.'s degree from POSTECH(www.postech.ac.kr). He has started his career in the department of 'Special Alloys Group' at Korea Institute of Materials Science and served there during 2005-2014. Further, he extended his career at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA. He was also an adjunct Professor at University of Science and Technology, Korea.

His research focused on the microstructure design and tuning of structural metallic materials including titanium and nickel alloys for use in power generators, aerospace applications, and bioengineering. Furthermore, nano-oxide particles in oxide dispersion strengthened steels are of increasing interest due to their excellent thermal stability and irradiation resistance. However, all material processing tends to be very complex, with defects being prevalent and the interface effects having a critical function. Furthermore, for many applications, the structural dimensions are required up to meter length scales. Together, these factors produce exciting challenges to him.

   He is a member of the Korean Institute of Metals and Materials, The Korean Society For Technology of Plasticity, the Korean Nuclear Society, the Korean Powder Metallurgy Institute, TMS (Minerals, Metals and Materials Society). He has authored over 70 publications and handled about over 30 research projects and filed over 30 patents.
