Hong Joo Ryoo Presenting

I do Interdisciplinary Research at Johns Hopkins University (PhD) and National Science Foundation (Graduate Fellowship), previously affiliated with UC Berkeley (Quadruple BA), and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Postbaccalaureate Researcher). I am also a co-founder and CTO of OpenCura. Below are my involvements:

Physics

  1. Theoretical Physics 1: Algebraic Quantum Theory, Emergent Spacetime, Quantum Gravity, Quantum Foundations, Mathematical Physics.
  2. Theoretical Physics 2: Quantum Chromodynamics in the nonperturbative energy regime.
  3. Experimental Physics: Hardware and reconstruction analysis of Dark Matter and Neutrino projects (Eos, Theia, and ANNIE).

Philosophy

  1. General Philosophy of Science and Explanation: in epistemology and metaphysics of science.
  2. Philosophy and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: bridging theories of time, understanding, emergence, and mathematical physics.

Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence

  1. Philosophy of Cognitive Science: exploring semantics, regress problems, and artificial intelligence.
  2. Agentic Artificial Intelligence in Particle Simulations: Developed the first agentic AI system for particle physics simulations (GRACE) with a collaborator.

Check my Google Scholar for a list of publications and Orcid for vita. In spring 2026, I have taught an introductory course on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics at JHU.

Oh, and I am also a professional Arm Wrestler.
