I am a professor of Theoretical Cosmology at the Center for Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology (CTAC), the Department of Astrophysics (ICS) and the Physics Institute (Physics), University of Zürich (UZH). My research interest lies in understanding the origin and evolution of the Universe with large-scale structure probes.
I was born in Seoul in 1975, got the undergraduate degree at Seoul National University (SNU), and served in Korea Army, before moving to the Ohio State University (OSU) in the USA for PhD degree. I was a Donald H. Menzel fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), a Berkeley-Zürich Cosmology fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL), and a SNF Ambizione fellow at University of Zürich, before I joined the faculty in 2014 at the University of Zürich. I won a European Research Council Consolidator Grant Award (ERC-2015-CoG). A brief cv (pdf).
