Discover the research and activities of the Kim–Go Laboratory in this one-minute video.
We develop functional metallic materials through shape memory and superelasticity, low-modulus alloy design, and data-driven materials research.
We develop Ti-based, Zr-based, and high-entropy shape memory and superelastic alloys that combine biocompatibility with advanced mechanical functions.

We study Ti- and Zr-based low-modulus alloys and processing routes that provide bone-compatible flexibility while retaining strength and durability.
Explore this research →
We combine experimental and computational data with machine learning to discover alloy compositions, processes, and microstructures that deliver targeted properties.
