Dr. Seung-yun Kim is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), where he also serves as the First-Year Program Coordinator since 2013. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Dayton (2007) and a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Saint Louis University (1999).
- Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Dayton (2007)
- B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Saint Louis University (1999)
Research Interests: Dr. Kim specializes in intelligent robotics, collaborative computing, human-centered systems, and mobile/ubiquitous computing. His work applies Petri net modeling to soccer robots, humanoid robotics, and 3D-printed assistive devices. Recent publications focus on Fuzzy Petri nets for stability analysis, object detection in color recognition, and timed Petri net simulations.
Scientific Contributions: He has authored or co-authored 15+ publications (journal, conference, and book chapters) on robotics, Petri nets, and collaborative systems. His 2024 paper explores communication/navigation in soccer robots, while 2020-2021 works address kicking stability, card gameplay models, and humanoid control. Earlier studies (2014-2018) cover sensor fusion, 3D printing for exoskeletons, and algorithm design for soccer robots.
Awards and Grants:
- Over $500,000 in grants, including an NSF grant ($149,986, 2014-2015) for assessing engineering education effectiveness.
- TCNJ Mentored Undergraduate Summer Experience awards (2014-2021) for student research mentorship.
Academic Service: Dr. Kim has served on TCNJ's Faculty Senate, Curriculum Committee, and Academic Integrity Committee. He coordinates the first-year engineering design course and teaches Control Systems, Robotics, and Computer Architecture.
