Oum Sang-il (Korean: 엄상일; born 1976) is a South Korean mathematician working in graph theory and discrete mathematics. He is a tenured professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at KAIST and the chief investigator of the Discrete Mathematics Group in the Pioneer Research Center for Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the Institute for Basic Science. He is known for his work on structural graph theory and in particular for structures and algorithms relating to rank-width, clique-width, and branch-width. He published more than 45 journal papers.
He won the Young Scientist Award from the South Korean government in 2012.[1] and the TJ Park Young Professor Fellowship[2] from the POSCO TJ Park Foundation in 2009. He has been an editor of the Journal of the Korean Mathematical Society since 2011 and a founding member of Young Korean Academy of Science and Technology.
He wrote a monthly article for the monthly magazine Math Donga (ko) for 4 years from 2016, sharing the latest research breakthroughs in mathematics.[3]
In the Korean Mathematical Society, he was appointed twice (2011–2012, 2017–2018) as an executive member of the board of trustees in charge of the Korean Mathematical Olympiad. He was a member of the Korean Mathematical Olympiad Committee for 2011–2018 and was the deputy leader of the South Korean team at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2012 and 2018.
