معرفی
Prof. Dan Shim is a Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University (ASU), located in Tempe. He holds a PhD in Geosciences from Princeton University (2001) and previously served at the University of California, Berkeley (Miller Research Fellow, 2001–2003), MIT (Assistant/Associate Professor, 2003–2012), before joining ASU in 2012. His research focuses on planetary materials under extreme conditions, using techniques like laser-heated diamond-anvil cells and synchrotron/XFEL analysis to study high-pressure/temperature behavior of minerals, liquids, and alloys relevant to Earth and exoplanet interiors.
Education:
- PhD in Geosciences, Princeton University (2001)
- M.S. Geological Sciences, Seoul National University (1994)
- B.S. Geological Sciences, Seoul National University (1992)
Research interests include:
- Planetary core-mantle interactions
- Hydrogen and volatile behavior in planetary interiors
- High-pressure phase transitions in silicates, oxides, and metals
- X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy of planetary materials
- Experimental facilities like ASU’s FORCE (Facility for Open Research in a Compressed Environment)
Key contributions include the development of the FORCE facility, which enables large-scale multi-anvil press experiments for simulating deep planetary conditions. His group uses novel techniques like vibrational electron energy loss spectroscopy to detect hydrogen at sub-nanometer scales.
