Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geophysics
  • Astronomy
  • Solar System

His primary areas of investigation include Mantle, Geophysics, Crust, Exoplanet and Astrophysics. His Mantle research includes elements of Silicate and Seismic velocity. In the field of Geophysics, his study on Transition zone overlaps with subjects such as Physical structure.

His study in Transition zone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Martian and Olivine. His study focuses on the intersection of Crust and fields such as Seismic wave with connections in the field of Seismogram. Amir Khan has researched Exoplanet in several fields, including Inverse transform sampling and Solar System.

His most cited work include:

  • The Constitution and Structure of the Lunar Interior (324 citations)
  • Can we constrain the interior structure of rocky exoplanets from mass and radius measurements (167 citations)
  • Can we constrain interior structure of rocky exoplanets from mass and radius measurements (152 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geophysics, Mars Exploration Program, Mantle, Seismology and Transition zone. His Geophysics research incorporates elements of Surface wave and Inversion. His study explores the link between Mars Exploration Program and topics such as Seismometer that cross with problems in Elysium.

His Mantle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mineralogy, Olivine and Lithosphere. His work on Seismic noise and Coda as part of general Seismology research is often related to Attenuation, thus linking different fields of science. His Transition zone course of study focuses on Seismic tomography and Preliminary reference Earth model and S-wave.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (61.76%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (53.53%)
  • Mantle (45.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (53.53%)
  • Geophysics (61.76%)
  • Seismology (31.76%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Amir Khan mainly investigates Mars Exploration Program, Geophysics, Seismology, Seismometer and Induced seismicity. His work deals with themes such as Mantle and Crust, which intersect with Mars Exploration Program. His Mantle research integrates issues from Volcanism, Probabilistic inversion, Elysium and Planet.

His work carried out in the field of Geophysics brings together such families of science as Inversion and Tectonics. The Coda research he does as part of his general Seismology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Template matching and Long period, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The various areas that he examines in his Seismometer study include Surface wave and Geodesy.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • SEIS: Insight’s Seismic Experiment for Internal Structure of Mars (81 citations)
  • The seismicity of Mars (59 citations)
  • The seismicity of Mars (59 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Geophysics
  • Astronomy
  • Seismology

Amir Khan focuses on Mars Exploration Program, Seismology, Seismometer, Mantle and Geophysics. His study on Mars Exploration Program is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Crust. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Microseism and Receiver function.

His research in Seismometer intersects with topics in Martian and Induced seismicity. Amir Khan has included themes like Solar System and Planet in his Mantle study. Amir Khan regularly links together related areas like Probabilistic inversion in his Geophysics studies.
