Research Scientist
Iowa State University
Ames, Iowa, United States
Sunghwan Kim, Ph.D., P.E., an associate director of PROSPER and a research scientist at InTrans at ISU. Dr. Kim has conducted transportation infrastructure-related research for more than 15 years as a research staff member. He received his doctorate and master’s degree from ISU, with his FHWA-funded Ph.D. dissertation research focusing on studying the impact of curling, warping, and other early-age behavior of concrete pavement systems on concrete-pavement smoothness, and his Iowa DOT-sponsored M.S. thesis research focusing on the evaluation of hot-mix asphalt moisture sensitivity using the Nottingham Asphalt Test equipment. Dr. Kim’s industrial experience spanned about four years in a construction material engineering position in a large Korean global contract firm (Hyundai). At ISU, Dr. Kim has been actively involved as a Co-PI on more than 30 competitively funded research projects (more than $7.8M of external funding) and as a technical specialist on 16 funded research projects, all related to paved/unpaved road systems and transportation construction materials. He has also authored/co-authored more than 180 technical publications (including more than 70 peer-reviewed journal articles) and more than 60 technical presentations in the field of pavement/geosystem engineering and transportation infrastructure systems.
