About Dr. Kim
Dr. Sarah Kim earned her PhD in Physics from MIT, where her doctoral research focused on energy transfer mechanisms at the nanoscale and the application of statistical mechanics to biological systems. Her work sits at the intersection of classical thermodynamics and modern quantum physics.
At Physics Fundamentals, she covers thermodynamics in depth — from the foundational laws of energy conservation to the kinetic theory of gases — always grounding abstract theory in the physical reality that students can observe and feel.
