About Me
Dr. Hyomin Kim, Assistant Professor of Physics at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), researches the impact of solar emissions such as radiation and charged particles on Earth’s geomagnetic environment and human technologies. His analysis of magnetic field waves, caused by the interaction of solar wind with space plasma particles, shows how solar energy is transferred to Earth’s upper atmosphere. To that end, he serves as Deputy Director of Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) Polar Engineering Development Center (PEDC) for operation and on-site service of NJIT’s Antarctic stations for space research. He is also a science team member of the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probe Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) mission to study the Earth’s radiation belts. He has visited various Arctic and Antarctic regions for operations of science instruments. He is also interested in art and science collaboration to encourage the broader community to engage in science activities.
