(From March 1, 2026) I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Kyungpook National University, Korea.
My research interests lie in the area of partial differential equations. I am particularly interested in a variety of phenomena arising in PDEs governing behaviors of plasmas. These include
stability of nonlinear waves,
similarities between plasma waves and water waves,
relations between fluid models and kinetic models of plasmas.

Talk slide (Informal talk at NTU) - Solitary waves of the Euler-Poisson system. We introduce the small-amplitude limit of solitary waves for the 1D Euler-Poisson system with the Boltzmann relation. Also, we introduce the linear stability of small amplitude solitary waves for the isothermal system. We use the Evans function to study the associated eigenvalue problem. It is discussed why the energy method is inappropriate in our situation.
Talk slide (2020 NCTS PDE Young Scholar Workshop) - Solitary waves for the Euler-Poisson system and numerical observations. A linear instability criterion for large amplitude solitary waves of the 1D isothermal Euler-Poisson system is discussed. Some numerical observations are presented, which lead to the question of global existence vs. finite time blow-up for the 1D pressureless Euler-Poisson system.
Talk slide (2021 NCTS Spring day) - Formation of singularities in cold ion dynamics and some numerical observations. We show that the 1D pressureless Euler-Poisson system with the Boltzmann relation blows up in a finite time even if the initial velocity gradient is identically zero. We discovered some interesting properties of the system and a certain second-order differential inequality.
Talk Slide (Ignite Talks, 2021, NCTS) - KdV history. Each speaker prepared 20 slides, which automatically advance every 15 seconds. I prepared a brief history of the KdV equation and some stories.
