Dr. Yim has been at ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓsince 1987 and is currently the Glenn Willis Holcomb Professor of Structural Engineering in the School of Civil and Construction Engineering. He is the principal investigator of the 10-year NSF Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Tsunami Research Facility Site Operation Project. His research focuses on fluid and structural mechanics in the marine environment using high-performance computing based multi-physics, multi-scale and multi-domain systems methods. His recent research topics include hydroelasticity, free-surface flow and fluid contact/impact on deformable marine structures; waves, tsunami, storm surge and earthquake loads modeling and simulation in field and laboratory environments; and mechanics of wave-energy conversion systems. He teaches courses on structural mechanics, computational methods, wave forces, marine structural dynamics, and wave energy systems.
