at ISSE
Dr. Ungtae Kim joined the Institute for a Sustainable and
Secure Environment (ISSE) of University of Tennessee as a Post
Doctoral Research Associate in May 2008 and was
appointed as a Research Assistant Professor of the Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering in Nov 2008. After finishing his Post-doc, Dr.
Kim is currently employed as a Research Scientist at
ISSE since Dec 2009.
Dr. Kim received his
PhD degree from Utah State University, Logan, Utah, and his master’s
degree from Korea University, Seoul, Korea. Before joining UT, Dr. Kim was a
research associate in the Utah Water Research Laboratory. Dr. Kim is a
registered professional engineer (PE) of water resources engineering in Korea
since 2001. Dr. Kim served as a military engineer of the Korea Army in
1992-1994.
His research interests cover surface/subsurface hydrology, water
resources system/engineering, stochastic/statistical analysis, prediction
uncertainty, and climate change impacts on water resources. Dr. Kim is
especially interested in solving various water-related problems in real world
based on scientific and engineering approaches. He also actively serves in
reviewing many related journal articles.
Dr. Kim currently works for a SERDP (Strategic Environmental
Research and Development Program) project with Dr. Jack Parker in the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering.

I’m interested in most aspects of hydrology and water
resources and like to solve real-world problems based on scientific and
engineering approaches. Somebody may call this kind of guy “Dry
Hydrologist.” However, I actually very like field works to investigate
flood, drought, and hydraulic structures. Field works always give me
inspiration and sense for research. My main research interests include the following.
§
Deterministic/Stochastic hydrology
§
Matlab applications in
hydraulics, hydrology, and water resources system
§
Predictions in ungauged basins
§
Statistics/Probabilistics in hydrology
§
Flood/Drought analysis
§
Hydrologic model calibration/parameter uncertainty
§
Prediction uncertainty
§
Stochastic cost optimization
§
Climate change impacts on hydrology and water resources
§
Subsurface hydrology
§
Contaminant transport and fate in groundwater
Funded Projects

MT3DMS code, in order to simulate complex biodegradation problems involving
multiple substrates and multiple electron acceptors; I’m quite a bit
involved with this program to simulate DNAPL dissolution and remediation
actions.
· RiverWare: A general river
basin modeling tool that enables you to build and manage your won river basin
models – and to modify those models as features, uses and policies
change.
· VIC (Variable Infiltration
Capacity) model: A macro-scale hydrologic model that solves full water and
energy balance
