Jun-Muk Hwang Explained
Jun-Muk Hwang (; born 27 October 1963) is a South Korean mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry and complex differential geometry.[1]
Personal life
Hwang is the eldest son of gayageum musician Hwang Byungki and novelist Han Malsook.[2]
Education and career
Hwang studied physics at Seoul National University for his bachelors before studying physics at Harvard University. In 1993, he completed his PhD under the direction of Yum-Tong Siu with thesis Global nondeformability of the complex hyper quadric.[3] In the following years he held positions at the University of Notre Dame, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and Seoul National University. Since 1999, he was a professor at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study.[1] He was in 2006 an invited speaker with talk Rigidity of rational homogeneous spaces at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Madrid[4] and in 2014 a plenary speaker with talk Mori geometry meets Cartan geometry: Varieties of minimal rational tangents at the ICM in Seoul.[5]
In 2020, he was the founding director of the Center for Complex Geometry at the Institute for Basic Science.[6] In 2023, he was selected to be on the committee for the Abel Prize.[7] [8]
