Hi! My name is Hyunwook (Bob) Koh (高賢旭). I am an Assistant Professor in the Dept of Applied Mathematics & Statistics (AMS) at the State University of New York, Korea (SUNY Korea). I lead the Koh Lab for the Advancement of Biostatistics and Data Science at the State University of New York, Korea (韓國紐約州立大學校 高等生物統計學資料科學 高賢旭敎授 硏究室), called shortly as KLABDSSUNYK or the Koh Lab at SUNY Korea. I also serve on the committee for medical devices in the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of the Republic of Korea (2024. 5. 20 - 2026. 5. 19).
I am a biostatistician. I have led research projects funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea and Incheon Technopark on statistical learning methods for microbiome-based causal mediation analysis and personalized medicine. I have published my research papers in a range of academic journals, such as Statistics in Medicine, Microbiome, NAR Genomics & Bioinformatics, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology & Bioinformatics, BioData Mining, BMC Microbiology, BMC Genomics, Biology Methods & Protocols, Microbiology Spectrum, Frontiers in Genetics, Scientific Reports, PLoS One, Bioengineering, Microorganisms, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Nature Communications, eLife, Bioinformatics, Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, and so forth. I have delivered a talk or organized a session at a range of academic meetings, such as Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM), Eastern North American Region (ENAR), International Conference on Statistics & Data Science (ICSDS), Bernoulli-IMS World Congress in Probability & Statistics, Korean Statistical Society (KSS), American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), and so forth. I have also developed source technologies and infrastructures for web cloud computing.
Personal Background: I was born and grew up on Jeju Island, and moved later to Seoul for my college education. I have lived in the United States for about 12 years (2 years in Ithaca, 4 years in Los Angeles, 4 years in New York, and 2 years in Baltimore). I love music, sports, and food.
