About me

I am an associate professor at Korea University where I received my BA and MA. As a Ph.D. student, I joined the Statistics Department at Yale University in 2006. I was co-advised by Prof. David Pollard and Prof. Harrison H. Zhou. After receiving my Ph.D. in 2012, I was a postdoctoral associate at the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge (mentor: Prof. Richard J. Samworth). I was an assistant professor at Sungshin Women's University in Korea from March 2017 to Aug 2019.

My main research interests broadly lie in statistical theory and methodology. In particular, I was attracted by decision theory that combines the information from the data with consequences of our decisions in a given statistical problem. Current research interests also include the model misspecification problem, shape restricted estimation, high-dimensional analysis, and adaptive and computationally feasible estimators.
