PROGRAMME

From Model-Based Analysis to Policy: Optimization-Driven Infectious Disease Modeling in Korea PROF. JUNG, Eunok Konkuk University Eunok Jung is a professor of Mathematics at Konkuk University. An expert in Mathematical Biology (infectious disease modeling, cardiovascular modeling, biofluid dynamics, and optimal control). She advised the KDCA on COVID-19 policy based on mathematical modeling. She received the Presidential Commendation (2020) and a Ministerial Commendation from the Ministry of Health and Welfare (2022), and served as the 7th President of KSIAM and chair of Korea's COVID-19 Mathematical Modeling Task Force.

Application of Mathematical Modeling in Bioterrorism Response: Enhancing Government Preparedness for Smallpox and Anthrax in South Korea PROF. LEE, Jacob Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital Dr. Jacob Lee is an Associate Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Seoul, South Korea. He received his M.D. from Korea University College of Medicine and earned his Ph.D. from Korea University Graduate School. Board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases, he has extensive experience in infection control, antimicrobial stewardship, and emerging infectious disease response, including field deployment during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone and the 2015 MERS-CoV epidemic in South Korea. He currently serves as Chairperson of the Advisory Committee on National Strategic Stockpile at the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) and as Vice President of the Korean Society for Antimicrobial Therapy. His research focuses on mathematical modeling of bioterrorism pathogens, healthcare-associated infection prevention, and vaccine effectiveness evaluation, with over 80 peer-reviewed publications in journals including Annals of Internal Medicine, International Journal of Infectious Diseases, and PLOS ONE.

Modelling vaccine preventable diseases for national policy in the UK PROF. MILLER, Elizabeth London School Of Hygiene And Tropical Medicine Professor Liz Miller is Chair in Vaccine Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. She is a leading infectious disease epidemiologist with over 40 years’ experience in vaccines, immunisation policy, vaccine safety and effectiveness evaluation. She previously served as Head of the Immunisation Department at the Health Protection Agency/Public Health England for 15 years. She has also made major contributions to international vaccine policy and safety through long-standing advisory work with WHO, including involvement with the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts and the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety.

Monitoring the Sky : From Space Surveillance & Awareness to Observing Transient Astronomical Events MR. GIRODO, Yann Isae-supaero Yann Girodo is a final year student of double Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering at ISAE-SUPAERO, and Astrophysics & Space Science at Toulouse III University. His main interests are in space science, currently working on space surveillance & awareness at CNES. He studied satellite operations in Japan and polar science in Svalbard.

Chemical fingerprints of massive binary stars DR. JIN, Harim Max Planck For Astrophysics Harim Jin is an independent postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Munich. She received her PhD in Astronomy at the University of Bonn and master’s degree in Astronomy at Seoul National University. Her research focuses on theoretical modeling of how stars evolve and die, and how they drive the evolution of the Universe.

Nanopore-based sensing of biomolecular interactions and machine learning-aided signal classification DR. LEE, Mi-kyung Critical Diseases Diagnostics Convergence Research Center, Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology

The dynamic nature of percolation on networks with triadic interactions DR. SUN, Hanlin Nordita

Context-Aware Multimodal AI Uncovers Hidden Trajectories in Five Centuries of Artistic Change PROF. YUN, Jinhyuk Soongsil University / Mpi-sp

Quantum chemical study for the shock-front reactions dedicated to the late Prof. Chul Park PROF. JEUNG, Gwang-hi Aix-marseille University After obtaining a PhD from University of Toulouse In 1982, Dr Jeung has worked at Free University of Berlin as a researcher, at Dankook University in South Korea as an assistant professor. He came back to France as a researcher in CNRS in 1987, first at Strasbourg then at Orsay. He was recruited as a professor in the Chemistry Department at Aix-Marseille University in 2001, working until his retirement in 2020. Since, he works with an emeritus position. He is a specialist in quantum chemical study on the basic reactions, in particular, involving highly-excited electronic states.

Measuring and modeling social interactions in fish schools and applications: AI, robot-fish, virtual reality for fish, drones PROF. SIRE, Clément CNRS/Université De Toulouse Prof. Clément Sire is a theoretical physicist and a Research Director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), based at the Laboratoire de Physique Théorique (LPT) in Toulouse, which he led as Director. He has systematically applied these theoretical frameworks to diverse complex systems, ranging from coarsening dynamics, random walks, and astrophysics to behavioral biology. For over a decade, in close collaboration with ethologists, he has pioneered quantitative models of collective motion and decision-making in animal schools and human crowds, combining automated data tracking and virtual reality to uncover decentralized rules of interaction. Recognized also as a Mediation Ambassador for CNRS Physics, he actively bridges the gap between fundamental physics, complex living systems, and public science communication.
