Welcome William Overman, a visiting graduate student in the IBS discrete mathematics group
The IBS discrete mathematics group welcomes William Overman, a visiting graduate student from the University of California, Irvine. He was a visiting undergraduate student two years ago. He is planning to stay with us until the end of August 2021.
Welcome IBS Biomedical Mathematical Group (BIMAG/의생명수학그룹), a new group in the Center for Mathematical and Computational Sciences led by its CI, Prof. Jae Kyoung Kim from KAIST
On March 1, 2021, the IBS Biomedical Mathematics Group (BIMAG/의생명수학그룹) is established. It is led by its Chief Investigator, Prof. Jae Kyoung Kim (김재경) from the Department of Mathematical Sciences of KAIST. BIMAG is located on the 3rd floor of the Theory Building of the IBS HQ. As of March 2021, the IBS Center for Mathematical and Computational Sciences has three independent groups; Discrete Mathematics Group (DIMAG), Data Science Group, and Biomedical Mathematics Group (BIMAG).
