Hee-Jeong Kim is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Arizona. She received a B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering, all from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and did her postdoctoral research at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, MIT.
Her area of expertise is the multi-scale chemo-mechanical characterization of advanced materials in civil engineering. Kim's research involves designing and developing new construction materials based on advanced multi-scale computational modeling and experimental characterization, improving the sustainability and resilience of civil infrastructure, utilization of digital fabrication, including large-scale printing in the development and application of new construction.
Research Interest
1) design and development of new construction materials such as new composites and innovative materials based on coupled advanced multiscale computational modeling and experimental characterization 2) utilization of digital fabrication, including additive manufacturing in the development and application of new construction materials and development and application of novel nondestructive evaluation methods for material characterization and health monitoring.
