Chul Min Kim received his Ph.
D. in physics from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in 2006
with a theoretical analysis of atomic high harmonic generation in a two-color
laser field. In the same year, he joined Advanced Photonics Research Institute
(APRI), Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology as a staff scientist and
has been working there so far. At APRI, he extended his research scope to
include laser-plasma physics and conducted theoretical research on plasma-based
x-ray lasers and x-ray holography. In 2012, joining as a campus research fellow
Center for Relativistic Laser Science, Institute for Basic Science, he began to
study relativistic laser-plasma interactions. He is interested in the novel
physics embodied in ultra-intense light-matter interactions.
