Who am I?

I am Meesoon Ha, who has worked as a professor in Department of Physics Education at Chosun University , Gwangju, Korea since March, 2011.

Cyber Classroom for Lectures

Research
My research interests become much broader and cover various critical phenomena and phase transitions in terms of finite-size scaling in various complex systems (including from lower-dimensional nonequilibrium processes to complex networks). My Ph.D specialty is ''Statistical Physics and its related Condensed-Matter Physics Theory'' (Adviser: Prof. Marcel den Nijs at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA).
From August 1, 2003 to Augsut 31, 2006, I was a Postodotoral Research Fellow at Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS), Seoul, Korea (supervisor: Prof. Hyunggyu Park). From September 1, 2006 to August 31, 2007, BK21 Endowed Professor at Chonbuk National University (CBNU), Jeonju, Korea (in collaboration with Prof. Hyunsuk Hong and Prof.I.J. Lee). From September 1, 2007 to February 28, 2011, I was a BK21 research professor (one of CSSPL members) in Department of Physics at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, Korea.
