GIST Alumnus Professor Bayarbaatar Amgalan becomes

an associate professor at the National University of Mongolia

Professor Bayarbaatar Amgalan, a graduate of GIST"s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, was became an associate professor at the National University of Mongolia in the School of Mathematics and Computer Science in September 2016.

Professor Amgalan, whose advisor was Professor Hyunju Lee, wrote a paper on the identification of cancer-related gene regulation networks based on optimization methodology and received his Ph.D. in August 2015. Professor Amgalan entered the doctoral program at GIST in 2011 after a memorandum of understanding was signed between GIST and the National University of Mongolia in 2010 to identify conditions specific biological subnetworks and to identify genes for cancer-causing mutations.

In recent years, researchers have focused on research on developing a mathematical methodology to identify cancer-related genes and to clarify the mechanism of cancer by using methods optimized for various vital information.
