Yoon Duk Kim - Young Researcher Award

The Yoon Duk Kim Young Researcher Award has been established by SSRC in honor of the late Dr. Yoon Duk Kim, who was a vibrant young researcher with a cheerful smile and contagious energy. Dr. Kim contributed greatly to various SSRC initiatives, and was a kind and faithful friend to many.

The Yoon Duk Kim Award seeks to recognize students or early career professionals who have made a noteworthy contribution to the advancement of structural stability.

The award is available to current graduate students or young researchers. Young researchers are those who have completed a graduate degree in Structural Engineering or an area closely related to Structural Engineering within the last three years, and whose work demonstrates a significant interest in technical initiatives within the purview of the Council. The selection of the awardee is based on a single letter of nomination from a current SSRC member, a one‐page application form from the nominee, and a transcript providing proof of current enrollment or date of conferral of latest graduate degree. Please email your letter of nomination to SSRC Headquarters at ssrc@aisc.org.

 

The award consists of a certificate, funding of expenses up to $500 to attend the Annual Stability Conference, and a $500 cash honorarium. To qualify, the awardee must attend the Annual Stability Conference. The award is presented at the Opening Sessions of the Annual Stability Conference.
