Professor, School of Mathematics, Korea Institute For Advanced Study

Research Area: Geometric Analysis, Mathematics

Award Citation: The AYSF Committee acknowledges his contribution to the classification of ancient solutions to geometric flows and would like to support his exploration in advancing our understanding of singularities for geometric flows.

Bio: Kyeongsu Choi is a professor of mathematics at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study. He received his PhD in mathematics from Columbia University in 2017, and then he spent three years at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a CLE Moore Instructor. He came back to Korea in 2020 and joined to KIAS. He has worked on singularity analysis of geometric flows so that he resolved Firey's conjecture and mean convex neighborhood conjecture, and also he made a breakthrough in the study of Huisken's conjecture. In recognition of his contribution to geometric analysis, he received Sangsan Prize for Young Mathematicians from Korean Mathematical Society in 2020, Posco Science Fellowship in 2021, Young Scientist Award from Ministry of Science and ICT of Korea in 2022, and Asian Young Scientist Fellowship in 2023.
