Sunyoung Kim is a professor of mathematics at Ewha. She received a Ph. D. from State University of New York at Stony Brook. Her research interests include algorithms for quadratic, semidefinite, copositive programming, polynomial optimization, and the Euclidean distance matrix problem. One recent result of her work has been to develop a unified framework for polynomial optimization problems via Lagrangian-conic relaxation method, and algorithms. Kim has been teaching Numerical Analysis, Numerical Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Applied Mathematics, and Optimization.
