Biography:
Dr. Thomas Kang is a Professor of Structural Engineering at Seoul National University, having previously served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma and Adjunct Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received his PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles, and his BS from Seoul National University. He is also a recipient of the Wason Medal for Most Meritorious Paper as Lead Author from ACI in 2009, and the Kenneth B. Bondy Award for the Most Meritorious Technical Paper as Lead Author from PTI in 2013. He is a Fellow of both ACI and PTI, and a member of the EU Academy of Sciences. He has done experimental and analytical buckling studies geared to enhance and codify the axial load capacity of built-up cold-formed steel sections and flexural/axial behavior of concrete-filled steel tubes.
