Kim Yeong-duk

Kim Yeong-duk () is a South Korean physicist. He was one of the physicists involved in the Reactor Experiment for Neutrino Oscillation in South Korea, which has successfully measured the 3rd mixing angle of the neutrinos.
Currently Kim teaches at Sejong University, South Korea, where he is also director at the Institute for Basic Science. He focuses on the research of dark matter and nuclear physics.
Education and work
Kim Yeong-duk studied nuclear engineering at Seoul National University. He had worked on the heavy-ion and hadron physics at USA and Japan. From 1985 to 1991, Kim studied in Michigan State University, where he graduated with a Ph.D. in physics.
1991 he researched as a post-doctoral at Indiana University and 1992 in Japan.
From 1995 Kim worked as a researcher at Seoul National University. Since 1998 he is professor at Sejong University. His research interests are focused on the underground nuclear and particle astrophysics. He also worked on the Korea Invisible Mass Search project for the direct dark matter search, as well as the Reactor Experiment for Neutrino Oscillation (also called RENO) project. 2013 Kim was appointed as director for the Center for Underground Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics at the Institute for Basic Science of South Korea.
