Keekyoung Kim
Assistant Professor at University of Calgary, former professor at UBC Okanagan.
Dr. Keekyoung Kim began his position as the Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering in July 2013. Dr. Kim earned PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toronto and holds MS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Calgary and BE in Mechanical Engineering from Kyung Hee University, South Korea. Before joining to UBC, Dr. Kim worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University Mechanical Engineering and Pediatric Cardiology; a Research Fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School and Wyss Institute of Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University; and a Postdoctoral Fellow in Mechanical & Nuclear Engineering, Agricultural & Biological Engineering, and Center for Lignocellulose Structure and Formation at Pennsylvania State University.
His research interests span many disciplines, including bioMEMS, Lab-on-a-chip, biomechanics, biomaterials, and regenerative medicine/tissue engineering. Generally his research focuses on developing integrated bio/micro/nanosystems to characterize biomaterials for controlling cellular microenvironments; investigate cellular and molecular response to controlled mechanical stimuli; and fabricate functional micro-scale tissues. Dr. Kim aims to apply his extensive research background towards expanding research and education opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students at UBC Okanagan.
