Director of Bio/Nano Technology Group and Professor of Biological Engineering
University of Arkansas
Jin-Woo Kim is a Director of the Bio/Nano Technology Group and a Professor of Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering at the University of Arkansas. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering at Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH). He received his first B.S. in Chemical Technology (currently Chemical & Biological Engineering) from Seoul National University, his second B.S. in Microbiology from the University of Iowa, an M.S. in Biology from the University of Wisconsin, and a Ph.D. in Biological Engineering from Texas A&M University.
He was a Visiting Professor at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University and the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory. His research focus is in Bio/Nano Technology, i.e., biologically inspired nanotechnology, which spans interdisciplinary fields of biological engineering, biomedical engineering, biology, chemistry, and nanotechnology. Learning from biological systems in nature, his research aims to develop more effective and efficient routes to “panoscale” (i.e., ‘any’ scale) system integration of multifunctional hierarchical structures for biomimetic advanced materials and devices. He has published over 140 articles, given over 240 presentations with over 90 invited presentations, and has 5 granted or pending patents.
