A short biography
Chansoo Kim is a research scientist as well as an economist at the Computational Science Research Center in Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in Republic of Korea. He leads the group ‘Information Machine Learning Financial Econ Lab’, which works on the science of information and complex (adaptive) systems.
His research focuses on heavy-tailed distributions such as leptokurtic distribution, which are among the non-Gaussian behaviours, and its applications to learning, reasoning, finance as well as inequality. One of his research and academic ancestors is C. F. Gauß. He has been working hard to be a good scientist, who stands under the intellectual tradition of Neruda, Szymborska, Lacan, Levinas, Hirofumi, Keynes, Mandelbrot, Boulding, Prigogine, Shannon and Boltzmann.
For the COVID-19 pandemic, his group has performed a series of macroscale individual-based simulations for policy development and assessments with the Korean government using parallel computers. He obtained his B.Sc. in Computer Science and M.A. focusing on Statistical Physics, and his PhD is in Economics (Mathematical Finance and Machine Learning).
