My experience of serious classroom teaching started from 2001 in Cambridge UK. Since then, I have been conducting university teaching and lecturing for students, as well as supervising and mentoring research students, as listed below.
I am a passionate and insightful teacher type. I often hear from students that my lectures have changed their course of lives.
Teaching Experience:
At MRC, Cambridge, I had five Ph.D. research students to supervise (from May 2001 to March 2003).
At KAIST(Korea Advanced Inst. of Sci. and Tech.), I have over 12 research students and associates to supervise and various classes to teach, both under- and postgraduate level (from April 2003 to present). Three of the students are now studying Ph.D. in Cambridge UK.
At KOBIC, KRIBB, I am an associate professor in Bioinformatics. I established the Bioinformatics dept. of UST with which KOBIC is associated with.
2001: MRC-DUNN institutional bioinformatics course for institute members (Ph.D. students and other researchers).
2001: 3 week intensive course on bioinformatics, Korean National Inst. of Health.
2003: 1 week intensive course on bioinformatics, Ehwa University, Seoul, Korea.
2003: Bis221. General Biochemistry, 2nd year undergraduate students, BioSystems Dept., KAIST.
2003: Bis500. Bioinfotronics. Integrated course on bioinformation, electronics and mechanical engineering, a joint Systems Biology course, BioSystems Dept., KAIST.
2004: Bis321. Systems Bioengineering, covering bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, as well as conventional biotechnology, BioSystems Dept., KAIST.
2004: Bis733. BioIntelligence, bioinformatics course with various algorithms, BioSystems Dept., KAIST.
2004: Bis333. Bioprogramming, programming skills for bioinformatics, covering database handling and Perl programming, BioSystems Dept., KAIST.
2006: Omics introduction: University of Science and Technology.
2007: Omics introduction: University of Science and Technology.
Additional teaching experience:
Several teaching experience in the joint China, Japan, and Korea Bioinformatics training course which is the oldest and most prominent bioinformatics training course in Asia. I am the Korean organizer of the training course.
Apart from regular courses, I am invited over 10 times per year for lectures in Korea on bioinformatics (http://bioinformatics.ws), omics (http://omics.org), general biology (http://biocourse.org), and genomics (http://genomics.org).
