I received my Ph.D. in Industrial & Systems Engineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) in February 2025. My Ph.D. dissertation focused on developing novel methods in financial data science and data-driven asset allocation strategies from multiple perspectives.

Throughout my academic journey, I have built a strong research portfolio, having published 15 SCIE-, SSCI-, or A&HCI-indexed journal papers, 2 Scopus-indexed journal papers, 1 paper in another international journal, and 3 KCI-indexed journal papers. I have delivered 7 presentations at international conferences, 7 at joint international and domestic conferences, and 134 at domestic conferences. To date, I have received 47 awards, including 21 for research-related papers.

Since August 2025, I have been actively applying for academic positions to continue my research in financial data science, business analytics, and data-driven decision making.

My core research focuses on leveraging data science and financial engineering to develop intelligent, accessible solutions for real-world financial problems.

Through this work, I aim to make financial services more intuitive and accessible by simplifying complex concepts and developing user-friendly tools for asset management. Ultimately, I strive to deliver high-quality, data-driven financial solutions that are both practical and widely usable. With a strong academic background and a passion for impactful research, I am committed to contributing to both academia and the financial industry by creating meaningful and lasting value through fintech innovation.
