Seung-Kyum Choi

Dr. Seung-Kyum Choi is an Associate Professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. He joined Georgia Tech in 2006 and currently directs the Center for Additive Manufacturing Systems (CAMS), focusing on advancing additive manufacturing technologies and educational programs. His research emphasizes robust design optimization, uncertainty quantification, and probabilistic mechanics applied to engineered systems, including additive manufacturing, metamaterials, and aerospace components.

Education:

• Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, Wright State University (2006)
• M.S., Mechanical Engineering, Ajou University, South Korea (2001)
• B.S., Mechanical Engineering, Ajou University, South Korea (1996)

Research interests span additive manufacturing, structural reliability, and multidisciplinary design optimization. He develops simulation tools for uncertainty management in complex systems, such as 3D-printed lattice structures and aerospace components. His work integrates machine learning, meta-learning, and surrogate modeling to enhance decision-making in engineering design.

Notable awards include the 2009 Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Dean’s Award for Teaching Excellence. He contributes to journals like International Journal of Materials and Product Technology and Structure & Infrastructure Engineering, and actively mentors students through CAMS and his research labs.
