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

Regularity of Crystalline Area-Preserving Flat Flow in the Plane (with Inwon Kim), in preparation
Area-Preserving Anisotropic Mean Curvature Flow in Two Dimensions (with Dohyun Kwon), Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations (2024)

Teaching

In Spring 2025, I am a teaching assistant for Math 135 (Ordinary Differential Equations). In the past, I have served as a teaching assistant for the following courses:

Math 31B: Single Variable Calculus II (Fall 2021, Winter 2022, Spring 2022, Spring 2023)
Math 32A: Multivariable Calculus I (Winter 2023, Winter 2024)
Math 33B: Differential Equations (Winter 2023, Winter 2024)
Math 131A: Real Analysis I (Fall 2023)
Math 131B: Real Analysis II (Spring 2024, Fall 2024)
Math 134: ODEs and Dynamical Systems (Spring 2024, Winter 2025)
Math 115AH: Honors Linear Algebra (Fall 2022)

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.
