Research Assistant Professor
Department of Economics, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)
I joined the Department of Economics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) as a Research Assistant Professor on April 1, 2026.
Before joining HKUST, I worked at Seoul National University, as a BK assistant professor, and at Monash University, as a post-doc research fellow.
I received a Ph.D. degree in Economics from McGill University (Montréal, Canada) in February 2023.
My research interests include econometric theory, nonparametric and semiparametric statistics, time-series analysis, and machine learning. I am particularly interested in partial-identification problems.
