The MathWorks Opens Office in South Korea
The MathWorks broadened its global presence with the opening of its first direct office in Asia. The MathWorks Korea, LLC., located in South Korea’s capital, Seoul, is providing improved support and services to the company’s growing Korean customer base.
The staff comprises an experienced team from a variety of leading technology companies to offer Korean customers support, sales, training, and consulting.

"As the leading developer and supplier of MATLAB and Simulink technical computing software for engineering and science, The MathWorks Korea already has major companies, science and engineering departments of most universities, and research institutes as customers.We look forward to solving their challenging problems and accelerating innovation in automotive, aerospace, communications, financial services, and other industries," said Chang-Man Ham, Country Manager of The MathWorks Korea. |
South Korea, which is strong in the automotive, electronics, and education markets, is home to major companies such as Hyundai, Samsung, and LG.
The new South Korean office further expands the MathWorks presence in Asia, which continues to be served by authorized MathWorks distributors and resellers in more than a dozen countries across the region.

Cleve B. Moler Fellowship at Stanford
 Cleve Moler |
In 1999, The MathWorks celebrated the 60th birthday of MathWorks Chairman and Chief Scientist, Cleve Moler. To honor Cleve’s lifetime achievements, The MathWorks established the Cleve B.Moler Fellowship Award as part of the Stanford University Graduate Fellowship in Science and Engineering program. It seemed only fitting that the award should be housed with Stanford. In 1982, while Cleve was on sabbatical at Stanford, Jack Little, a then-recent recipient of a control engineering master’s degree (and now President of The MathWorks), was introduced to MATLAB. |
To date, two students have received the Cleve B. Moler Fellowship Award:Michael Rotkowitz and Justin Reed.
Michael Rotkowitz, a Stanford Ph.D. candidate in Aeronautics and Astronautics, explored decentralized control problems in which multiple controllers access different information. His findings are useful for aerospace systems, where dynamics propagate at the speed of sound and communications occur at the speed of light.
Justin Reed is a graduate of Ohio State University with a degree in mechanical engineering. In Stanford’s mechanical engineering program, Justin is researching control systems, system dynamics, electronics, computer programming, and system modeling to improve fuel efficiency within the scope of the automobile industry.
