Kim joined the Navy in 1982 after graduating from Johns Hopkins University with a B.E.S. in electrical engineering and computer science, and served for seven years in the U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Service. As a young officer, Kim designed the Critical Abort Logic Circuits for the Mid-Infrared Advanced Chemical Laser, which was later used to test systems for the Strategic Defense Initiative to increase test effectiveness. Several years later, he would also discover and correct inconsistencies in the statistical treatment of uncertainties in test data and the use of virtual scenarios to compare the effectiveness of weapon types.

Jeong H. Kim
eong H. Kim's mission is to transform Bell Labs from its 82-year history as the crown jewel of American basic tech research — source of the laser, the transistor and the LED — into a profit-producing arm of global telecom giant Alcatel-Lucent. Since being named Bells Labs president in April of 2005, Kim has learned the difficulty of taking 3,000 scientists comfortably immersed in a scholarly research culture and reshaping them into 1,200 techies racing to bring innovations to market. It's really the creative destruction of an American icon, and the job fairly screamed for someone like Kim, an immigrant who had proven himself as a nuclear submarine officer, a billion-dollar tech boy wonder, and a multi-disciplinary engineering professor.
Jeong H. Kim was born in Korea in 1961, the second of four children. His parents separated when he was five. Under Korean custom he and his siblings went to live with his father. The f
