Dr. Nicholas D. Kim

My main teaching and research interests lie in the area where applied environmental chemistry meets human health risk assessment. Before joining Massey University (Wellington New Zealand), I worked as both an academic in Chemistry at the University of Waikato (1991-2001), and a scientific advisor to the Waikato Regional Council (2002-2011). During my time at Massey I've also served as a central government Senior Policy Analyst. My background covers a range of applied chemistry areas including environmental chemistry, human and environmental risk assessment, analytical chemistry and forensic science. From work with local government I have broad experience with the technical aspects of applied resource management including regional analysis of air, soil and water quality for state of the environment (SoE) purposes, scientific assessment of resource consents, management of contaminated sites and chemical emergencies, development of regional and national policy in the environmental chemistry area, and provision of expert evidence.
