Keunho Kim

Keunho Kim is a Researcher in Astronomy at Caltech/IPAC, specializing in observational studies of galaxy evolution. His affiliations include the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy at Caltech and prior postdoctoral roles at the University of Cincinnati and Arizona State University. Education includes a PhD in Astrophysics (2020, Arizona State University), M.Sc. (2015, Yonsei University), and B.Sc. (2013, Yonsei University) in Astronomy and Physics.

Research focuses on galaxy morphology, star formation quenching mechanisms, Lyman-alpha escape processes in Green Pea galaxies, and galactic bulge properties. Notable projects include studies on environmental quenching in high-redshift clusters and bulge demographics using SDSS data. Collaborations include the Sloan Giant Arc Survey (SGAS) and South Pole Telescope (SPT)-Cluster groups.

Publications highlight environmental impacts on star formation, Lyα escape physics, and structural links to quenching. His work combines Hubble Space Telescope data with kinematic and photometric analyses to explore galaxy evolution across cosmic time.
