Eric Kim

I am a fourth year PhD student at UCLA advised by Inwon Kim. I am currently interested in PDE, geometric measure theory, and the calculus of variations. Recently, I've been thinking about the asymptotics of curvature-driven flows and quantitative stability in isoperimetric problems. I previously completed my undergraduate degree at Stanford.

Preprints and Publications

Area-Preserving Anisotropic Mean Curvature Flow in Two Dimensions (with Dohyun Kwon), Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations (2025)

Winter 2024: Math 32A (Multivariable Calculus), Math 33B (Differential Equations)
Fall 2023: Math 131A (Real Analysis)
Spring 2023: Math 31B (Single Variable Calculus)
Winter 2023: Math 32A (Multivariable Calculus), Math 33B (Differential Equations)
Fall 2022: Math 115AH (Honors Linear Algebra)
Spring 2022: Math 31B (Single Variable Calculus)
Winter 2022: Math 31B (Single Variable Calculus)
Fall 2021: Math 31B (Single Variable Calculus)

Here are some samples of my teaching evaluations:

Hobbies

In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, singing, solving puzzles, and going to the beach.
