Prof Dr. Young Jin Suh | Differential Geometry | Best Researcher Award
Professor of Emeritus at Kyungpook National University, South Korea.
Dr. Young Jin Suh, a distinguished mathematician from the Republic of Korea, has made significant contributions to the field of differential geometry over his long and storied career. With a solid educational foundation, having earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics Education and a Master’s degree in Mathematics from Kyungpook National University, followed by a Doctorate from the University of Tsukuba, Dr. Suh’s work primarily focuses on the differential geometry of real hypersurfaces in complex spaces. His research and academic contributions have garnered him numerous accolades, including the prestigious Order of Meri for Red Jogeun by the President of Korea.
Dr. Suh’s academic journey began at Kyungpook National University, where he completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in mathematics. His early focus was on geometry, and this interest deepened during his doctoral studies at the University of Tsukuba, where he worked under the guidance of renowned mathematicians Hisao Nakagawa and Tsunero Takahashi. His doctoral thesis, titled “Differential Geometry of Real Hypersurfaces in Complex Spaces Forms,” laid the foundation for his future research and academic pursuits.
Dr. Suh has held several prestigious academic positions throughout his career. After serving as an Associate Professor at Kyungpook National University, he was promoted to Professor, a role he held until becoming a Professor Emeritus in 2019. His work at the Research Institute of Real & Complex Manifolds (RIRCM) has been particularly impactful, where he has led numerous National Research Foundation (NRF) projects, contributing significantly to the advancement of knowledge in the field of differential geometry.
His research has focused on the intricate structures of real hypersurfaces in complex space forms, a niche but highly influential area in mathematics. Over the years, Dr. Suh has been a Principal Investigator (PI) on various projects funded by the NRF, including Lengthy Basic Research, Global Research Networks, and Advanced Basic Research Labs. His leadership in these projects has solidified his reputation as a leading figure in mathematical research, particularly in the fields of real and complex submanifolds.
