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, ...
