※ My wife, Dr. Yanghyeon Cho, is a faculty member at the University of Idaho specializing in survey sampling, small area estimation, statistical genetics, causal inference, and imputation.

My research primarily focuses on developing statistical methods for multiple testing problems, mainly on false discovery rate (FDR) control and gene expression data. I am currently developing methodologies for multi-omics data, utilizing advanced technologies such as single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics. I earned my Ph.D. in Statistics from Iowa State University under the guidance of Dr. Dan Nettleton. Before joining UH, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Dongjun Chung's lab at The Ohio State University.

My interest in statistics began with Dr. Jinook Jeong's class at Yonsei University, where he described statistics as a discipline to "hear the voice of data." This idea inspired me to pursue this field. As a statistician, uncovering overlooked factors and supporting research through data-driven insights is the most exciting aspect. I aim to continue contributing to the academic community and advancing our understanding by focusing on solving real-world problems that demand innovative and analytical approaches.
