Doyeon Kim

Dr. Doyeon Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at Imperial College London, Faculty of Engineering. His research focuses on terrestrial and planetary seismology, with expertise in planetary interiors, geophysical techniques for subsurface investigation, and seismic analysis of Mars and the Moon. He holds a PhD from Cornell University and has held academic positions including Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland and Senior Scientist at ETH Zurich.

Education:

• PhD in Earth Science, Cornell University (United States)
• MSc in Earth Science, Yonsei University (Republic of Korea)
• BSc in Earth Science, Yonsei University (Republic of Korea)

Research Interests:

• Planetary seismology of Mars and the Moon
• Core-mantle boundary studies using seismic waves
• In-situ resource utilization via subsurface geophysical methods
• Machine learning applications in seismology
• Lunar crustal thickness analysis
• Martian crustal composition and tectonics

His work integrates seismic data from missions like InSight and Apollo, focusing on crustal structure, mantle dynamics, and impact cratering processes.

Key Research Themes (2023-2025):

• Marsquake catalog refinement and denoising
• Lunar seismic network development for Artemis missions
• Core-mantle boundary seismic signatures
• Impact seismology and multi-messenger observations

Grants & Advising: Active in mentoring graduate students/postdocs on planetary seismology projects. Research supported by NASA and European Space Agency grants.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with the Marsquake Service team and InSight mission scientists, contributing to planetary seismology instrument development.
