Jong Min Kim

Jong Min Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Sejong University. His academic background includes a Ph.D. (1998), M.S. (1991), and B.S. (1989) from Yonsei University and Purdue University.

• Ph.D., Purdue University (1998)
• M.S., Yonsei University (1991)
• B.S., Yonsei University (1989)

His research focuses on geotechnical engineering, particularly Slope Stability Analysis, Numerical Limit Analysis, and Enzymatically Induced Calcite Precipitation (EICP). He has pioneered methods for Geological Disposal and Geotechnical Application of Waste Materials, including the development of a low-ammonium EICP technique using synthetic Ca²⁺-zeolite to mitigate environmental harm.

Recent publications highlight advancements in soil stabilization using plant-based enzymes and waste materials, thermo-mechanical rock behavior, and reinforced soil mechanics. His work includes numerical simulations for nuclear waste repositories and innovative grouting methods with environmental safeguards.

He teaches Construction Materials Testing and Soil Mechanics, and leads research on compaction quality control, dynamic soil properties, and environmentally sustainable geotechnical applications.
