Jineon Baek

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea, working under the mentorship of Joonkyung Lee.

My main interests lie in optimization problems in combinatorics and geometry, that can appeal to a general audience through simple yet intriguing statements.

I completed my Ph. D. at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, under the supervision of Michael Zieve. My thesis focused on the moving sofa problem, for which I am grateful to Dan Romik for many thoughtful discussions and feedback during the course of the research.
