Welcome to the String Theory Group at Yonsei University! 

We study string theory and quantum field theory, both phenomenological and formal aspects thereof, with the ultimate goal of better understanding the theoretical description of nature at the fundamental level. 

We are particularly interested in uncovering universal features exhibited by any consistent effective field theories of quantum gravity, and hence, also by those that describe nature. Specifically, in light of string compactifications, we have recently been focusing on revealing microscopic origins of such universal features via various field-theoretic and geometric analysis. 

In general, a central theme of our research is to exploit the rich physics of string theory, as well as the underlying mathematical structure thereof, to engineer and better understand interesting models of quantum field theory.
