Prof. Kim developed optimization techniques (including mathematical programming methods, Meta heuristic method) and applied them to solve a variety of practical industrial problems, such as the vehicle driving path problem. Prof. Kim also suggested a generalized simulation model that can significantly shorten time required to develop any simulation model. He also developed POSTECH Internet-based Outpatient Simulator and made it free of charge for anyone to use.
