About Me

I am a mathematician working on Homological Mirror Symmetry. I love geometry, algebra, and their interactions.
I completed my Ph.D. in August 2023 at Seoul National University in South Korea, under the supervision of Prof. Cheol-Hyun Cho.
I moved to Germany after graduation, and worked at Universität Paderborn until July 2025, as a member of the Algebra group (PI: Prof. Igor Burban) and the CRC-TRR 358. Meanwhile, I visited Universität zu Köln for two months (March - April 2025), in the working group of Prof. Sibylle Schroll.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Max-Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, as a member of the Symplectic and Non-commutative Geometry group (PI: Prof. Laurent Côté).

Research Interests

My research focuses on exploring the deep connections between symplectic geometry (A-side), algebraic geometry (B-side), and representation theory through Homological Mirror Symmetry (HMS). See more details here.

Current Teaching

In the winter semester of 2025/26, I will be giving a lecture course on Fukaya categories and homological mirror symmetry at Universität Bonn. The lecture notes will be made available here.
