Hello, my name is Kyunghee [kɪəŋ-hi:].
Welcome to my webpage!
I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Before joining UIC, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California at Davis (supervisor: Dr. Hans-Georg Mueller) and the University of Pennsylvania (supervisor: Dr. Pamela Shaw). I received my Ph.D. in Statistics (advisor: Dr. Byeong Uk Park) from Seoul National University, South Korea.
My research interests include nonparametric estimation, shape-constrained modeling and inference, errors-in-variables problems, and functional data analysis.

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it, we go nowhere" by Carl Sagan.
In the era of data science, novel findings can be presented by a data-driven approach. However, understanding and advancing fundamental principles behind the new knowledge necessitate hypotheses and theoretical imagination.
I'm pursuing balancing those two aspects in my statistical research.
