Hyeonji Kim
Visiting Instructor/Lecturer, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Kim is a translational bioprinting researcher specializing in tissue engineering and ocular regenerative medicine. She holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. Her research focuses on developing innovative therapeutic platforms for ocular diseases using 3D bioprinting, biomanufacturing, and regenerative medicine.
She has developed 3D-bioprinted corneal stromal constructs that replicate native collagen alignment and achieve transparency, successfully restoring visual function in preclinical beagle models and subsequent veterinary clinical applications. She also advanced a simplified in situ corneal therapy that has completed veterinary clinical trials and is now licensed for anticipated human trials. Currently, she is developing ocular therapeutic implants using advanced 3D printing approaches.
Dr. Kim has collaborated with regulatory authorities and preclinical evaluation agencies to define guidelines for 3D-printed combination medical devices and to conduct safety testing of bioprinted corneas. Her work has been internationally recognized, contributing to her university's ranking as 12th in Reuters’ 2019 “Top 100 Most Innovative Universities,” and spans drug delivery, diagnostic and therapeutic devices, personalized medicine, and translational ophthalmology. Her long-term vision is to engineer personalized therapeutic implants and biofabrication technologies that bridge fundamental science and clinical translation, initially focusing on restoring vision and ultimately expanding to regenerative therapies for multiple organ systems. -
Hyochang Kim
Research Director, Center for Sustainable Development and Global Competitiveness
BioI am the Research Director of the Human-Urban Interaction (HUI) pillar at the Stanford Center at the Incheon Global Campus (SCIGC), where my research explores the intersection of humans, technology, and urban environments. My work focuses on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), Human-AI Interaction (HAI), and next-generation mobility systems. I develop design concepts, models, and interaction frameworks that enable intuitive, adaptive, and trust-based experiences with emerging technologies in smart cities. This includes work on autonomous delivery robots, AI-driven services, and inclusive UX strategies that support user adoption and acceptance in complex urban systems.
My approach integrates human factors engineering, cognitive psychology, big data analytics, and metaverse-based experimentation to model and optimize interactions across both physical and digital spaces. By combining empirical research with computational analysis, I aim to create scalable solutions that enhance usability, safety, and engagement in evolving smart city ecosystems.
Ultimately, my goal is to ensure that advancing technologies are not only functional but meaningfully embraced by people, enabling the seamless integration of technology and human behavior and driving the development of sustainable, intelligent cities for the future.
