"Jon-Lark Kim was born in 1970 in South Korea. He received the BS degree in Mathematics from POSTECH, the MS degree in Mathematics from Seoul National University, South Korea, in 1997, and the PhD degree from the Department of Mathematics, University of Illinois at Chicago, in 2002. He was an Associate Professor at the University of Louisville until 2012. He is currently a Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Sogang University, and the Director of the Institute for Mathematical and Data Science, Seoul, South Korea. He is also CEO of DeepHelix, a start-up based on AI and healthcare. He has authored more than 70 research papers on Coding Theory, Combinatorics, Cryptography, Games, and Machine Learning and a book titled Selected Unsolved Problems in Coding Theory. He is a Co-Editor of Concise Encyclopedia of Coding Theory published by Chapman and Hall/CRC in 2021. He was a recipient of the 2004 Kirkman Medal from the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications. He is a member of the Editorial Board of Designs, Codes and Cryptography and Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computing. His research interests include Coding Theory, Cryptography, Informatics, Fuzzy Theory, and Artificial Intelligence, hoping to find a method to unify all of these + alpha in his lifetime just as Rene Descartes discovered a Cartesian coordinate system which unifies Algebra and Geometry and included a quotation ""Cogito ergo sum"" (""I think, therefore I am"") which unifies the human mind and body. His hobbies include playing soccer, reading, and writing."
