Dong-Soo Kim received the B.Sc. degree, the M.Sc. degree, and Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Young Nam Univ. Daegu, Korea, in 1988, 1991, and 2000, respectively. From 1991, he worked at Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) and he is currently the vice-presidnet of KIMM. He has been in charge with the Roll to Roll Printing Process and Equipment Team as a team leader and his working area is the gravure printing, screen printing, micro-contact printing, flexo printing, inkjet, printed electro-mechanical system, and screen printing. He has published more than 30 technical papers and currently holds around 70 Korea patents, 10 U.S. patents.

Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) was established in 1976 initially under the name of the Korea Test Institute of Machinery and Metals, in order to improve industrial technologies in the field of machinery and metal working as well as to domestically manufacture machinery, thereby replacing imports and upgrading machine quality to international levels. The KIMM has thus far led the development of the field of machinery in Korea. With the backing of its 30 years of experience and research capabilities, the KIMM is determined to pool all its capabilities to develop into an agency that will lead the industry, academia and research institutes.
