About

Won-Gi Kim is a pioneering researcher in advanced manufacturing and materials science, with a primary focus on 3D printing technologies for porous structures. His most notable contribution is the development of the interconnection-tunable porous ink (ITPI) platform, introduced in his 2025 paper "3D Printing of Interconnection-Tunable Porous Ink." This innovative work addresses a critical challenge in additive manufacturing: the ability to program pore connectivity within three-dimensional structures. By engineering a multiphasic suspension—comprising a polymer precursor solution as the continuous medium and sacrificial solid particles—Kim enables the fabrication of porous materials with precisely controlled architectures. This breakthrough has significant implications for applications in tissue engineering, filtration, and energy storage, where pore interconnectivity directly impacts performance. While his citation count is still growing, Kim's work represents a foundational step toward customizable porous materials, positioning him as an emerging leader in the field of functional 3D printing. His research bridges materials chemistry and manufacturing engineering, offering a versatile platform for future innovations in smart and responsive structures.
