Best of luck over the next 2 years!
Dr. Kim featured in Canadian Auto News!
Dr. Kim has recently been featured in Automotive News Canada for his and his groups contribution to automotive research!
Multi-Material Topology Optimization Publication!
A big congratulations to SMSD alumnus, Dr. Li and Dr. Kim for their newest journal paper publication in Automotive Engineering. Dr. Li and Dr. Kim developed algorithms for multi-material topology optimization considering compliance minimization problems for automotive applications. Be sure to check out the latest issue of Automotive Engineering for a great read of the paper.
Expanding Research Suite with GM Canada!
Dr. Kim and SMSD are thrilled to announce that the current collaboration with General Motors Canada will be expanding into a suite of new research topics. Look forward to new focus in topics including design optimization, topology optimization, lightweight design, multi-material design, large-scale optimization, and parts integration over the coming years of the research collaboration.
