Prof. Hemin Koyi

Professor Hemin Koyi earned a PhD in Tectonics and Geodynamics from Uppsala University. He was a Research Fellow at the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin. Since 2007, he has been leading the renowned Hans Ramberg Tectonic Laboratory at Uppsala University. Hemin Koyi has served as a chair and panel member on both national and international research council committees.

Hemin Koyi’s research interests focus on rock deformation in the crust and upper mantle, covering the fields of Structural Geology, Tectonics, and Geodynamics. In his work, he combines geological and geophysical data with geomechanical modeling to study the 4-D evolution of geological structures in both brittle and ductile tectonic settings. Beyond their fundamental importance, Hemin Koyi’s research applies to various fields: energy and mineral resources; waste disposal sites (Environment); seismic activity, landslides, and slope stability (Natural hazards); and groundwater flow and aquifer deformation. These studies have led to over 180 peer-reviewed articles in international journals.
