Duckyoung Kim研究员喜获2021年度“天河之星”优秀应用奖

Dr. Duckyoung Kim, a staff scientist of HPSTAR was awarded the 2021 "Tianhe's award" for the outstanding work on superionic iron oxide-hydroxide (FeO2H) in Earth's deep mantle. This award is given by National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou, annually to the teams who did the most excellent work of great importance to the science, engineering, and society using "Tianhe" supercomputer.

Using the "Tianhe-II" supercomputer, Dr. Duckyoung Kim's group did computational calculations and simulations. They firstly predicted a superionic hydrous mineral -- FeO2H in the deep lower mantle (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.08766.pdf), which not only brought insights to the new matters and fascinating properties in our Earth's interior but also provided the new understanding of the water circulation in Earth's deep mantle. This prediction was realized by HPSTAR experiment teams lead by Dr. Qingyang Hu and the combined report was publishedin Nature Geoscience in 2021.
