Prof. Hyoungsoo Kim | Scientific Breakthroughs | Research Excellence Award
KAIST | South Korea
Dr. Hyoungsoo Kim is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST and Principal Investigator of the Fluid & Interface Laboratory, where his research sits at the intersection of experimental fluid mechanics, soft-matter hydrodynamics, and interfacial instabilities. His work uncovers novel physicochemical phenomena across nano- to macro-scales using advanced optical diagnostics, custom experimental platforms, theoretical modeling, scaling laws, and data-driven analysis. He has made seminal contributions to Marangoni flows, evaporation-driven patterning, liquid-metal systems, and interfacial transport, with applications spanning uniform coatings, semiconductor processing, micro/nanoparticle removal, flexible electronics, metamaterials, and plasma control.
