Umeå University 홍보책자 및 홈페이지에 소개된 글을 아래에 소개합니다.
Beom Jun Kim is a professor at Sungkyunkwan University in Korea. He
came to Umeå University in 1997 as a postdoctor.
Three years later he was hired as assistant professor in the
Department of Physics and in 2002 he returned to Korea.
He has now built up his own large research group that have frequent
exchanges with Umeå physicists.
Beom Jun Kim has made important contributions to building faculty
research on complex systems and statistical physics in Umea
University.
The formation of IceLab - a new interdisciplinary center where young
scientists are working to understand living systems by means of
theoretical models -
would hardly have been possible without Beom Jun Kim's early efforts.
========================================================================
The whole is greater than the parts
Beom Jun Kim is performing research on complex systems, how
large-scale phenomenon arising from small-scale interactions, and the
whole becomes complex and much more than their constituents. The
research he has developed ranging from the traditional approaches in
the condensed-matter physics and statistical physics, such as phase
transition of superconducting systems, the latest in the complex
interdisciplinary network theory. Kim applies this theory in areas
such as sociology, biology, disease transmission, economics and game
theory. Research in this area has developed explosively since
Duncan Watts and Steven Strogatz designed their model in 1998. It was
a breakthrough in the understanding and importance of "small world"
phenomenon, often described by two people, anywhere on earth, are
connected by a chain of no more than six handshakes. Kim published
more than 120 scientific papers - many of them in collaboration with a
physicist at Umeå University. He received the 2006 Korean-to-Yong
Bong-price of a prominent scientific conduct prior to age 40.
