The Postgrad Reps are TSG’s link to MSc and PhD students in structural geology community. They offer ideas and initiatives that would make TSG attractive or supportive to postgrads, and help promoting TSG to postgrad audiences. As a day-to-day task, they are in charge of our media presence, managing this website and social media accounts (Twitter, LinkedIn & Facebook).

Namgwon Kim is a PhD student at the University of Strathclyde interested in the internal architecture and engineering heterogeneities of fault zones. He combines multidisciplinary approaches, including field mapping, topological analysis, engineering geological characterization, and three-dimensional model building on the Great Glen Fault, UK. Through the various approaches, his research focuses on three major points: (1) impact of pre-existing ductile anisotropies on the heterogeneities of subsequent brittle deformation, (2) the mechanical stability of fault zones related to structural and hydrogeological variations in internal architecture, and (3) evolution of fault zone model predicting three-dimensional heterogeneous architecture during a large subsurface infrastructure project. He worked as a student researcher at the South Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) during his Master’s course at the Kyungpook National University in Korea, involved in several projects on geological mapping, active tectonics, tectonic geomorphology, and paleoseismology.
