In a blog written 4 February 2015 the anonymous blogger writes:
“Professor Jeom Kee Paik, whose research interests are safety studies and design of ships and offshore structures associated with extreme and accidental conditions, will work within the department’s renown Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NAME) section. Professor Paik will divide his time between UCL and Pusan National University in his native Republic of Korea and foster a range of research collaborations between the two universities. He is currently in charge of a Korean state-funded project with the budget of some US $100M to build marine test infrastructures.”
Paik Prize:
In a very special honor for a living figure, The Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) recently announced that a new award has been named for Professor Paik, himself a five-time winner of their Best Paper award. The Jeom Kee Paik Prize, which will be awarded each year for the best paper on structures published by a researcher under 30, is the first such prize to be named for a non-Briton in the 155-year-history of RINA.
Biography:
Dr J.K. Paik is Professor of Ship and Offshore Structural Mechanics in Pusan National University (PNU), Korea. He was born in Sacheon City, Gyungnam Province, Korea, in 7 January 1957. He received his Bachelor Degree of Engineering (1981) from PNU, and his Master Degree of Engineering (1984) and Doctor of Engineering (1987) from Osaka University, Japan. He has been Visiting Professor in Technical University of Denmark (1993-1994), Virginia Polytechnic and State University, USA (1999-2000), and University of Newcastle, Australia (2006).
He is Director of the Lloyd’s Register Educational Trust (LRET)
Research Centre of Excellence at PNU, with the focus on Nonlinear Structural Mechanics in association with Limit States and Risk-based Approaches. He has some 25 years experience of teaching and research in the area, and he has authored over 500 technical papers and several books and book chapters. His book publications include “Condition Assessment of Aged Structures” (CRC Press, USA, 2008), “Ship-Shaped Offshore Installations: Design, Building, and Operation” (Cambridge University Press, UK, 2007), and “Ultimate Limit State Design of Steel-Plated Structures” (John Wiley & Sons, UK, 2003). He is now in the middle of writing a new book titled “Computer Based Ship Structural Design – Theory and Practice” (The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, USA), coauthored by Prof. Owen Hughes, Virginia Tech, USA. His book chapters include Chapter 8 Ship Structures in the book titled “Modeling Complex Engineering Structures” (The American Society of Civil Engineers, USA, 2007), edited by R.E. Melchers and R. Hough, and Chapter 39 Reliability Assessment of Ships in the book titled “Engineering Design Reliability Handbook” (CRC Press, USA, 2005), edited by E. Nikolaidis, D.M. Ghiocel and S. Singhal.
Prof. Paik is the recipient of numerous awards and honors including the Medal of Exceptional Merit (The Royal Institution of Naval Architects, UK, 2008), the Engineering Prize (The Society of Naval Architects of Korea, 2008), the RINA best paper awards (The Royal Institution of Naval Architects, UK, 1995 & 2000), the SNAME best paper awards (The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, USA, 2000 & 2004), the IME best paper award (The Institution of Mechanical Engineers, UK, 2003), the Engineering Prize (Pusan Metropolitan City Government and Kukje Newspaper, Korea, 2000), and the SNAK best paper award (The Society of Naval Architects of Korea, 1995).
