AREAS OF EXPERTISE

  • Quantum field theory and string theory
  • Magnetic skyrmions and Hall transport
  • Entanglement entropy, gauge fields and Wilson loops
  • Hydrodynamics and quantum critical point
  • Holographic renormalizations
Bom Soo Kim is a faculty member at UW-Parkside with research interests in a number of interdisciplinary fields anchored to theoretical physics using quantum field theory and string theory. While formally trained in high energy particle physics, his research interests have been extended to condensed matter physics, material science, and quantum information science. His specific research topics include magnetic skyrmions & Hall transport, hydrodynamics with broken boost, entanglement entropy with background fields, and holographic renormalization.

Bom Soo Kim received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of California at Berkeley and his B.S. in astronomy from Yonsei University. He trained as a postdoctoral researcher in a joint appointment with IESL-FORTH and the University of Crete and then at Tel Aviv University. He previously worked as a teaching postdoc at the University of Kentucky and as a full time Lecturer at Loyola University Maryland. He is excited to share his experiences working at academic institutions with different cultures and to further collaborate in his research and teaching with students and faculty members at UW-Parkside.

Teaching Interests

Teaching Philosophy:
I believe a human mind longs for the knowledge beyond its own horizon. Admitting that each one of us is limited with his/her own border helps us to facilitate our classroom to be a safe place to test and expand our boundaries. With a consistent self-examination through critical and objective thinking process, we experience knowledge outside our current limits that enables us to face future challenges. I am obligated to enter the classroom with my best preparations and an open mind being aware of individual personalities and diverse needs. Through dedication, perseverance, and hard work, you are invited to experience empowering knowledge beyond your current frontier.
