Brief Biography
- I did my undergraduate studies at Seoul National University (Korea),
earning a bachelor's degree,
and graduate work at University of California Berkeley,
where I earned my PhD.
My doctoral thesis advisor at Berkeley was Professor Marc A. Rieffel.
- Before coming to Canisius, I also held positions
at University of California Davis, at
University of Kansas, and at
University of Nevada. In addition, I visited many other places for mathematical research
activities.
- During the year 2012/2013, I was a recipient of the Fulbright research abroad grant. With the
grant, I spent my sabbatical leave at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium.
Here is the webpage for the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program, and the one for
a similar program for students: Fulbright U.S. Student Program.
And, here is the webpage for Fulbright Belgium.
- In Fall 2019, with the funding from the Polish Academy of Sciences,
supported by an EU grant ("New Geometry of Quantum Dynamics") and a Polish government
matching grant, I visited IMPAN (Warsaw, Poland), conducting research.
- In Summer 2023, I was invited to IMPAN as a Senior Simons Fellow. I gave a series of lectures on C*-algebras of classical and
quantum groupoids.
- Since 2015, I am serving as the chair of the Department of
Mathematics & Statistics at Canisius College.
REU at Canisius
REU at Canisius announcement page
(Title: Geometry and Physics on Graphs): Canisius Math
department ran a summer REU (research experiences for undergraduates)
program during years 2005 -- 2010. It was funded by the National
Science Foundation. I was a co-PI for the program during years
2008 -- 2010.
Results from previous REU: Here are some of the
results that were obtained during recent REU programs: Research Reports, Preprints, and Talk Slides, ...
