I have served SNU as the Dean of Academic Affairs, Seoul National University, Dean of College of Natural Sciences, and the President of National Committee of the Deans of Colleges of Natural Sciences since 2010. As the Dean of College of Natural Sciences, I led and accomplish the project of building the Research Laboratory Complex for Basic Science Education for our students. As the president of the committee, I played a leadership role in initiating the BK21 Plus program, through which about 20,000 graduate students received financial support from the government to pursue their academic goals. All these accomplishments stemmed from my belief that firm fundamentals are crucial for our university to become a world leading academic institution.
