Aim for the stars, and you will reach the sky 

I'm an Assistant Professor at UNIST, specialising in algorithms and data mining. I received my Ph.D in SCSE from NTU where I was advised by Prof, Gao Cong. My research explores the impact of these elements on large-scale social data, along with their broader social implications. I focus on designing algorithms that are both "fun" and "wonderful". By "fun," I mean they are intuitive and easy to implement, while "wonderful" refers to their deep theoretical analysis and guarantees. My work aims to bridge accessibility and advanced theoretical concepts.

Teaching

Supervision

I am so lucky and delightful to work with following talented students. 

Ongoing

* I am committed to providing close supervision and support to each graduate student under my guidance. Given the intensive nature of this commitment, I intentionally limit the number of students I supervise concurrently. This approach ensures that I can dedicate ample time to mentor each student thoroughly and foster a productive and focused research environment within my team. Consequently, our lab maintains a selective admission process to align with these mentoring principles
