Leung Center for Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics National Taiwan University is delighted to extend a warm welcome to three highly accomplished scientists who have graciously accepted our invitation to join as scholars. Their exceptional contributions to the field of science have brought about significant advancements and garnered worldwide recognition. Allow us to introduce these distinguished scholars along with their profile pictures.
Name: Micharl R.R.Good
Position: Associate Professor
Home Institution: Nazarbayev University
Education:PhD
Mail: michael.good@nu.edu.kz
Biography:
Prof. Good received the B.Sc. in Physics with Highest Honors from the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, under the advisement of Prof. David R. Finkelstein, (PhD, MIT; whose coordinates removed the singularity in the Schwarzschild metric convincing the physics community of the physical existence of black holes). Prof. Good then attended the University of Hawaii as a Manoa Scholar in the Physics and Astronomy Department and the Institute for Astronomy.
Prof. Good obtained the M.Sc. and PhD. in Physics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (where Peter Higgs wrote his paper on the Higgs boson-2013 Nobel Prize, see also.). He was advised by both Prof. Charles R. Evans (Caltech post-doc under Kip Thorne, 2017 Nobel Prize); and Prof. Paul R. Anderson (PhD, UCSB under James Hartle of the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction of the universe). As a MSc student, Prof. Good took General Relativity at Duke University from Prof. Ronen Plesser (PhD Harvard- a well-known string theorist). As a PhD. student, Prof. Good was a visiting researcher at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University in 2009.
From 2011 to 2014 he was a Postdoctoral Scientist and Senior Research Fellow in Singapore at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the Nanyang Technological University in the quantum cosmology research group. Here he helped discover black hole quantum vortices, and did pioneering work in relativistic superfluidity with MIT Prof. Kerson Huang (who authored the widely used graduate textbook, Statistical Mechanics).
In August 2014 he joined Nazarbayev University as Assistant Professor. He has authored over 50 papers in high-impact, peer-reviewed, international journals such as the Journal of High Energy Physics, Classical and Quantum Gravity, and Physical Review D. He has won awards from the American Association of Physics Teachers, the National Science Foundation, NASA, Raytheon, the American Physical Society, MIT, and the Julian Schwinger Foundation. He was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award from the University of North Carolina, and the University-level Teaching Award from Nazarbayev University.

Name: Yeom,Dong-han
Position: Associate Professor
Home Institution: Pusan National University
Web: Laboratory of Classical and Quantum Theory of Gravity (Korean)
Mail: innocent.yeom@gmail.com
Current Research Interestsblack hole information loss problem, Euclidean quantum gravity, canonical quantum gravity, quantum gravity and applications for physical cosmology
Biography: I came from Korea. Apart from research, I like books, including philosophy, history, culture, etc. Although my Chinese is poor yet, if it is possible, I want to increase my Chinese skill to read books those are written by Chinese. I like to play piano, especially contemporary Christian music. I like baseball, but not for playing but for watching. I like coffee and I am a heavy coffee drinker.
