New postdoc Byung Kyu Na starts on Tronci’s Leverhulme funded complex fluids grant

Byung Kyu Na, who is just finishing his PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics and the Technical University Munich, has started working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Mathematics at Surrey, beginning in February 2026 (Byung’s Linkedin page). He is working on Cesare Tronci‘s Leverhulme funded grant “Solute motion in complex fluids: mathematics and solvation dynamics” (see blog post here about grant). His position runs until March 2027. In March & April 2026 Byung is visiting NTU Singapore. His visit is hosted by Francois Gay-Balmaz, and he joins Cesare there. The team there is working on mixed quantum-classical hydrodynamic models.
