Seok Hyun's website

Hello. Welcome to my website!

My name is Seok Hyun Byun and I am a Post Doctoral Fellow at Clemson University. My mentor is Professor Svetlana Poznanović. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Indiana University Bloomington and my advisor was Professor Mihai Ciucu.

I am interested in Algebraic and Enumerative Combinatorics and their connection with Statistical Mechanics and Integrable Probability.

You can see my CV here, and you can check my contact information, a list of publications, and teaching experience below.

I am currently on the job market and looking for a position starting Fall 2025.
