Kim completed his bachelor degree in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Seoul National University in 1973. After graduation, he started his mandatory military service as a Korean Air Force Officer specializing in aircraft maintenance. In 1974, he moved to a military research organization, The Agency for Defense Development (ADD) from his position as a Korean Air Force Maintenance officer, and worked as an experimental aerodynamicist in the trisonic wind tunnel test facility at ADD. He continued working in ADD after his retirement from the Air Force until 1979. He was promoted to senior researcher with the development of the six component sting balance for the trisonic wind tunnel.
In 1979, he went to the University of Texas for graduate school. He finished M.S. (1981) and Ph.D. (1985) degrees on the finite element analysis of solids and structures, and Professor J. T. Oden was his supervisor. After seven months of post-doctoral work under Professor Oden, he came back to be an assistant professor at his alma mater, Seoul National University.
