Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Young Dae Yoon
Junior Research Group Leader at Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics and Affiliated Professor at Pohang University of Science and Technology
About
Dr. Yoon is a Junior Research Group Leader at the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics and an adjunct professor at POSTECH, researching magnetized plasma physics and relativistic beam dynamics. He received his PhD from Caltech, where he developed new theory for magnetic reconnection and energetic particle dynamics.
His interests include magnetic reconnection, magnetogenesis, non-equilibrium dynamics, relativistic wave-particle interactions, runaway electrons, magnetic turbulence, and accelerator physics. These topics connect to planetary magnetospheres, solar and stellar phenomena, fusion, and particle accelerators.
He focuses on analytical and numerical work, always comparing with experiments and observations.
For more, see his publications.
