After Dr. Joonki Kim received a Ph D degree in Computer Science from Columbia University in 1973, Dr. Kim started his professional career at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York. He was involved with optimizing compilers. Later, he discovered the “tablet” input device in 1978 and started working on handwriting and gesture recognition with a vision of children going to school with an encyclopedia sized computer instead of books. This pen based computer would have a flat display such that users can select, write, edit and carry out other tasks using a more intuitive pen. This work culminated as a “Thinkpad” tablet computer in 1992.
In 1997, he joined Samsung Display Devices (now SDI) to help their tablet and touch panel effort. After establishing the touch panel business at SDI, he moved to Samsung Electronics. He was in charge of computer science and communications research. His interest included usability, interaction means and devices and creativity. His interest in creativity resulted in serving as a Director of American Creativity Association(2007-2010), and writing a book on Creativity(Korean language) for the youth of Korea. |
