The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group welcomes Tuan Anh Do (Tuấn Anh Đỗ), a visiting graduate student from the Graz University of Technology in Austria. He is a graduate student of Prof. Mihyun Kang and is planning to stay with us until the end of August 2022.
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group welcomes Prof. Hongseok Yang (양홍석) from the School of Computing, KAIST, Daejeon, Korea. He will visit the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group for 1 year from February 28, 2022 to February 24, 2023 during his sabbatical leave from KAIST. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001 and was a University Lecturer, an Assistant Professor, and a Full Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford since May 2011. He moved to KAIST as a full professor in July 2017.
On January 3, 2022, Dabeen Lee from the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group received the Excellence Award from the president of IBS. Congratulations!
We are very excited to learn that Prof. Hong Liu from University of Warwick, UK will move to the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) as a Chief Investigator (CI) to lead a new group called the Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO) on April 2022. This new group will be also located in the IBS headquarter and is expected to work closely with the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group (DIMAG). Both DIMAG and ECOPRO belong to the IBS Center for Mathematical and Computational Sciences together with the Data Science Group and the Biomedical Mathematics Group and we share the staff members.

Yesterday, the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO) posted the hiring announcement for up to 5 postdocs. Here are a few paragraphs from the announcement.
The Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Daejeon, South Korea invites applications for 5 postdoctoral research fellowship positions. ECOPRO is a new research group that will be officially launched in April 1, 2022 at IBS, led by Prof. Hong Liu. We welcome highly motivated postdoc researchers with outstanding research potential in all fields of combinatorics with emphasis on extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, graph theory, Ramsey theory, combinatorial number theory and discrete geometry. This appointment is for 2 years with possible 1 year extension contingent upon the outstanding performance of the researcher. The starting salary is no less than 57,000,000 KRW (about 48,400 USD or 42,800 EUR). The appointment starting date is flexible: between April 1 and Oct 1, 2022. This is a purely research position and will have no teaching duties.
A complete application packet should include
For full consideration, applicants should email items 1, 2, 3, and 4 and arrange their recommendation letters emailed to ecopro@ibs.re.kr by January 14, 2022.
Recommendations letters forwarded by an applicant will not be considered.
On November 19, 2021, Jinha Kim (김진하) of the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group received the Excellence Award for Young Scientist (미래인재상) by Korea Federation of Women’s Science and Technology Associations (KOFWST, 한국여성과학기술단체총연합회). This award was created to recognize woman scientists and engineers who have the potentials to elevate the nation’s competitiveness in science through great passion, dedication, and remarkable achievement in their work. Congratulations!
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group had its second “DIMAG Internal Workshop” at the St. Johns Hotel of Gangneung on November 15-17, 2021. Participants include almost all current members of DIMAG, Cheolwon Heo from Sungkyunkwan University, and Semin Yoo from KIAS. Every participant presented open problems informally.
The IBS discrete mathematics group welcomes Dr. Linda Cook, a new research fellow at the IBS discrete mathematics group from August 1, 2021. She received her Ph.D. from the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University under the supervision of Prof. Paul Seymour. She is interested in structural graph theory and its algorithmic applications.
Pascal Gollin from the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group has been appointed as the IBS Young Scientist Fellow as of August 1, 2021. The title of his research proposal was “Structural questions for infinite graphs, digraphs, and matroids“. Congratulations!
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.
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).
