Dr. Dong Sung Kim received a Master’s degree in zoology (1992), and obtained a Ph.D. degree in biological science (1996) both from Tokyo University. Dr. Kim returned to his home country as a prospective young scientist under the National Brain Pool Program. Since his return to Korea, Dr. Kim has dedicated to broaden and firm domestic research foundation as a physiological ecology specialist in field of meiobenthos. Dr. Kim is the pioneer Korean scientist who was onboard the manned underwater vehicle ‘Shinkai 6500’ to explore the hydrothermal vent named “Kairei” first discovered in the Indian Ocean. Successively, he had joined a tri-lateral (Korea, Japan, USA) international expedition team to explore the world’s deepest abyss called as “Mariana Trench” (11,000km/Kaiko). Throughout these experiences, he led an exploratory voyage in 2018 to the High Sea of the Indian Ocean to discover the hydrothermal vent ecosystem named “Onuri”-the first hydrothermal vent ecosystem discovered by Korea but the 4th by the international competitors—resulting in the successful collection of various samples which obtained novel creatures and natural products and writing a number of research outcome papers. In 2012, Dr. Kim was a principal investigator again leading an expedition team to the Indian Ocean to discover a new hydrothermal vent ecosystem named “Onbada” as the second discovery by Korea and discovered the 3rd one named “Onnarae”, contributing to the advancement of research capabilities in area of deep sea extremophile ecosystem. Furthermore, Dr. Kim has led a scientific team for many years to develop research plans about the East Sea and Dokdo micro-and meio-fauna ecosystem.
