**GilYoung Cheong**
gcheong at umich.edu East Hall 5080		I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan. My advisor is Michael Zieve. I have obtained M.S. in mathematics from Seoul National University in May 2015. My thesis advisor was Atanas Iliev. Before that I have obtained B.A. in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May 2013. I have not written any senior thesis, but I have developed much of my interest in mathematics by working with Melanie Matchett Wood.

Research

My interest considers many combinatorial problems occurring over a general finite field. They are often motivated by perspectives from algebraic geometry and number theory, and the means of solving them are often trans-disciplinary.

Miscellaneous

GilYoung's Thesis: : This contains anything useful for my potential thesis, and it often involves my personal learning notes. If you have found anything dubious, let me know. The blog is currently dormant because it took too much time to write.
