About the Speaker
Chang Hee Nam, Professor Emeritus of GIST and Honorary Research Fellow of IBS, received his Ph. D. in plasma physics from Princeton University in 1988. After working at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory as a staff research physicist, he joined Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) as a faculty member in 1989 and became a full professor in 1998. He started the Coherent X-ray Research Center in 1999 for the investigations of attosecond science. After moving to Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in 2012, he launched the Center for Relativistic Laser Science (CoReLS), a research center of Institute for Basic Science (IBS), for the exploration of strong field physics using femtosecond PW lasers, serving as the director until 2023. He is a fellow of American Physical Society and of Optica (formerly Optical Society of America).
