Dr. Sarah Kim

Dr. Sarah Kim earned her PhD in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where her doctoral research focused on energy transfer mechanisms at the nanoscale and the application of statistical mechanics to biological systems. Her work bridges classical thermodynamics and modern quantum physics, exploring how macroscopic thermodynamic laws emerge from microscopic quantum behaviour.

Her research background in energy transfer gives her a distinctive perspective on electromagnetism: she approaches Ohm's law, electric fields, Coulomb's law, and electromagnetic induction not as isolated topics but as facets of a single framework for understanding how energy flows through matter and field. This integrative view informs all her writing at Physics Fundamentals.

Dr. Kim's articles are designed to connect the molecular world to everyday phenomena — explaining why water has such a high specific heat capacity by reference to hydrogen bonding, or why transformers only work with AC by tracing the physics of changing flux. Her writing targets students who want depth of understanding alongside clarity of exposition.
