Biography
I was born and educated in South Korea until College, and then move to US to get Ph.D. at Columbia University in New York in theoretical physics. I was a postdoctoral fellow at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Boston University and was an assistant and associate professor at Columbia University. I return to Korea and became an associate professor at Seoul National University and move to Korea Institute for Advanced Study as a faculty in the school of physics. Recently I have joined BIMSA at Beijing China.<br>
