Hello, thank you for visiting my website !
I'm Hojin Chu (추호진), a research fellow in the School of Computational Sciences at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS). (Mentor : Prof. Jeong Han Kim)
My research interests are Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Combinatorial Matrix Theory, with a particular interest in Extremal and Structural Graph Theory. My research has been focused on advancing the theoretical foundations of graph theory and exploring graph structures and their properties.
I enjoy connecting with people 😁 Feel free to e-mail me if you'd like to discuss research topics.

Research
I work on structural questions in graph theory and discrete mathematics, often looking for the precise conditions that force a graph to contain—or avoid—a particular configuration.
