Spotlight Profile on Jaehong Kim
Jaehong Kim received a B.S. degree in Chemical Technology in 1995 from the Department of Chemical Technology (currently the School of Chemical Engineering) in Seoul National University in Korea. He received an M.S. degree in the same department in 1997. Before coming to the United States, he worked for one year at the Institute of Environmental Safety in Seoul National University as an assistant researcher. Then he obtained his Ph.D. degree at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2002.
Dr. Kim joined Georgia Tech in October 2002 as an assistant professor of environmental engineering. His research interests are in the area of physicochemical processes in water treatment such as chemical disinfection for pathogen inactivation, disinfection by-product formation control, membrane filtration for removal of emerging organic and inorganic contaminants, reverse osmosis technology of sea water desalination, application of emulsion liquid membranes, and understanding fate and transformation of carbon nanomaterials in natural and engineered environments. He offers undergraduate and graduate courses including Water Quality Engineering, Physicochemical Processes, and Design of Drinking Water Treatment Facilities.
