Sang-heon Shim
Navrotsky Professor Of Materials Research
Tempe, Arizona, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSang-heon Shim is the Navrotsky Professor of Materials Research at Arizona State University and a mineral physicist with nine years of focused experience in high-pressure materials science and crystallography. His work blends high-pressure synthesis, X-ray diffraction, synchrotron and laser spectroscopy to discover and characterize super-hard materials and novel high-temperature phases. Trained with a Ph.D. in Geosciences from Princeton and MS/BS degrees from Seoul National University, he has held faculty positions at MIT and ASU, progressing from assistant to endowed professor. He combines deep experimental expertise with geophysical insight, enabling studies that bridge fundamental mineral physics and materials engineering. Notably, his research leverages cutting-edge synchrotron techniques to probe matter under extreme conditions—a less obvious strength that positions him to translate planetary-scale phenomena into practical materials discoveries. Based in Tempe, Arizona, he maintains an active academic profile as both a researcher and crystallographer.
