I am a fluid dynamicist interested in various flow phenomena in physical sciences and engineering. 

My research interests in fluid dynamics are mainly but not limited to flow instability/transition/turbulence, non-linear dynamical systems, geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics, compressible flows in aerodynamics, vortex dynamics, numerical simulations, etc.  

I am usually doing my research or supporting my beautiful pianist Da-Hee Kim and my playful twin boys (or playing basketball, or watching football, or just drinking).
