Who is George Kim?

George E. Kim Ph.D.

With so many articles on this blog being written by George Kim we thought you might want to get to know a bit more about George's background.

George Kim’s academic background includes a B.Eng. (’89) in metallurgical engineering from McGill University and a Ph.D. (’95) in chemical engineering fromMcGill University.  Between 1995 and 2000, he worked for a Montreal company (PyroGenesis) as a research scientist, marketing manager, and business development manager.  In March and April 2000, George Kim was asked by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to establish and support new projects relating to “smart” and “nanostructured” materials through the Interchange Canada Program.  Since May of 2000, he has focused most of his efforts on his consulting company, Perpetual Technologies, which specializes in materials and surface engineering, with an emphasis on nanotechnology.

Since its inception, Perpetual Technologies has received contracts and subcontracts for work relating to nanostructured coatings from numerous US companies and institutions, including: Mogas Industries and FW Gartner Thermal Spraying Co., both in Houston; ExxonMobil Research and Engineering; US Office of Naval Research; US Naval Surface Warfare Center – Carderock Division; General Electric – Global Research Center; SAIC; Praxair Surface Technologies; Cameron International; University of California (Irvine & Davis) and Rice University.  In addition to providing consulting services in the field of nanostructured coatings,Perpetual Technologies provides technical solutions for industrial and military applications, supports and/or coordinates R&D projects.  George Kim is currently developing nanostructured coatings for thermal barrier and wear/corrosion applications and co-operating a partnered company, “n-WERKZ”, focusing on the production of nanostructured metal-base powder for industrial and military applications.  George Kim has authored the third chapter entitled, “Thermal Sprayed Nanostructured Coatings: Applications and Developments” in the Second Edition of Nanostructured Materials and is co-authoring a chapter entitled, “Processing of nanostructured metal-base coatings by thermal and cold spraying” in Nanostructured Metals and Alloys: Processing, Microstructure and Mechanical Properties(soon to be available).

I have all these feelingsuggs on sale, stemming, I think, from childhood and an adolescence marked by learning limitation, of not being good enough even though I know I am. I was chatting about this with Dawn this week, and while I know intellectually I can do this and be all ugg boots on sale I want and do the work that is amazing, sometimes these old feelings, hanging on like barnacles, show themselves and take over everything.
