About Me
Dr. Hyomin Kim, Assistant Professor of Physics at the 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, demonstrates how solar energy is transferred to Earth’s upper atmosphere. To that end, he serves as the Deputy Director of the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) Polar Engineering Development Center (PEDC), overseeing the development and operation of scientific instruments and on-site services at NJIT’s Antarctic stations for space research. He is currently in charge of instruments located at stations in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, including Canada, Greenland, Svalbard, and Antarctica. He is the Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on NASA and NSF-funded projects, totaling over $7M.
