Dr. Seung-Kyum Choi is an Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Choi’s research interests include structural reliability, probabilistic mechanics, statistical approaches to design of structural systems, multidisciplinary design optimization, and deep learning methods for complex engineered systems. He conducted a challenging research effort on the uncertainty quantification for the analytical certification of aerospace, automotive, and underwater vehicles. Success of this challenging effort includes the development of state-of-the-art numerical techniques in statistical methods and structural analysis methods with innovative stochastic modeling & simulation techniques. Dr. Choi’s current research focus is on the development of robust simulation and design-support tools to assist the digital transformation of complex engineered systems involving material structures design and multifunctional products. He is the principal author of a graduate-level textbook on the topics of probabilistic mechanics and reliability-based design optimization (Reliability-based Structural Design, Springer, 2007). Dr. Choi served as a chair and session organizer at national conferences of AIAA, SDM, MDO, NDA and ASME/IDETC, in addition to being a chair of the ASME Advanced Modeling & Simulation Technical Committe. Since 2008, he also served as a guest editor for Journal of Engineering Design, Electronic Materials Journal, Applied Sciences Journal, International Journal of Precision Engineering & Manufacturing, Materials Journal, and ASME Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering. Dr. Choi is currently appointed the Director of Center for Additive Manufacturing Systems (CAMS), where he has responsibilities for developing research and education programs in additive manufacturing.
