I am currently a post-doc at KU Leuven, under the supervision of Gabor Szabo. My email address is sam.kim[at]kuleuven.be


My main research interest lies in applying the theory of operator systems to any branch of mathematics. My previous papers look at connections of operator systems to dynamical systems, convex analysis, quantum information theory, and graph theory. I am also interested in applications of set theory and continuous model theory to operator systems and C*-algebras.
