Professor Yong-Hamb Kim’s research interest is in the development and applications of low temperature detectors. Particularly, Yong-Hamb is intrigued by new physics and detector developments using micro-calorimeters. Applications include high resolution alpha and Q spectroscopies, direct detection of dark matter, and search for neutrinoless double beta decay. He is an active member of AMoRE, KIMS+, and XMASS.
