I am a professor of physics at Korea University in South Korea and holds a Ph.D. in physics from Postech in 1998. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Basel in Switzerland and a research fellowship at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study, I joined the Faculty of Physics at Korea University in 2002.

My research interests have evolved from my doctoral dissertation in condensed matter theory to encompass quantum computation and quantum information. My areas of expertise include quantum algorithms, quantum simulations, superconducting qubits, spin qubits in quantum dots, and circuit quantum electrodynamics in quantum hybrid systems, as well as mesoscopic transport.

In the early 2000s, I initiated the development of Mathematica packages specifically designed for students studying quantum many-body systems and quantum spin systems. My primary objective was to assist students in prioritizing essential physics concepts over technical calculations. These packages eventually evolved into Q3, a symbolic quantum simulation framework implemented in Wolfram Language. Q3 was released to the public in 2020 through a GitHub repository (https://github.com/quantum-mob/Q3) and was subsequently featured in my book published by Springer titled "A Quantum Computation Workbook" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-91214-7).
