Kyung Hee University Appoints Leading NASA Scientist Dr. Fathi Karouia
A Leading Global Authority in Space Medicine to Deliver Special Lecture
On March 26, the Institute for Future Space Exploration at Kyung Hee University announced the appointment of Dr. Fathi Karouia from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as a research professor.
Dr. Karouia is a leading authority in space medicine and space life sciences. With over 25 years of experience at NASA, he has developed unparalleled expertise and practical experience in the fields of space medicine, space life sciences, astrobiology, planetary protection, astronaut health, and life science research aboard the International Space Station.
Dr. Karouia will conduct research in the fields of space medicine and space life sciences, holding concurrent positions at NASA and the Institute for Future Space Exploration at Kyung Hee University.
In 2025, Kyung Hee University was selected for the "University Basic Research Institute Support Project (G-LAMP)" and subsequently established the Institute for Future Space Exploration as a core thematic research center.
The Institute for Future Space Exploration leads pioneering research on three major themes: core technologies for space science exploration, space artificial intelligence, and basic space medicine.
With Dr. Karouia joining the team, the Institute for Future Space Exploration at Kyung Hee University is now poised to tackle key challenges faced by humanity in the course of space exploration.
There are also high expectations for collaborative research with Professor Kim Manseok of the Department of Pre-Medicine at Kyung Hee University, who is the first Korean to participate in the "NASA GeneLab Working Group."
