معرفی
Arnold D. Kim is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Merced, where he is a founding member of the Department of Applied Mathematics. His research focuses on interdisciplinary applications of wave propagation and scattering, with emphasis on imaging, spectroscopy, remote sensing, photonics, and plasmonics. He develops mathematical models using differential/integral equations, asymptotic analysis, and scientific computing. Current research projects include synthetic aperture radar imaging, boundary integral equation methods, plasmonic meta-structures, acoustic binding forces, and data science applications in social justice and gamification.
His work spans computational physics and biomedical optics, addressing challenges such as subsurface target detection, inverse scattering problems, and polarization-based imaging techniques. Collaborations include projects with Chrysoula Tsogka on SAR imaging, Camille Carvalho on boundary integrals, Sayantani Ghosh on plasmonics, and Maia Powell on social media analysis. His office is located in the Arts & Computational Sciences Building, Room 347.
Kim's research trends reflect a blend of theoretical advancements (e.g., asymptotic methods for layer potentials) and applied innovations (e.g., imaging algorithms for lossy media). Notable contributions include modeling broadband cloaking with plasmonic structures and analyzing mouse-tracking data for gamification insights. His recent publications emphasize high-resolution imaging techniques and spectral classification methods for radar applications.
