Seokwoo Kim
Hi, my name is Seokwoo Kim and I am a Ph.D. candidate in the department of industrial and management engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), under the supervision of Prof. Dong Gu Choi. I am pursuing an academic career upon completion of my doctoral studies.
My research interests lie in the field of Operations Research (OR), with a focus on equilibrium problems under uncertainty, a synthesis of two research areas---optimization under uncertainty and game theory. During my PhD journey, I have been working on robust optimization and bi-level programming in applications to the platform business, with particular focus on energy markets and on-demand service systems.
Inspired by the above application studies, I am currently interested in extending distributionally robust optimization perspectives to multi-stage games under incomplete information, with particular focus on (energy) market design contexts.

Seokwoo Kim, Seungmin Baik, Dong Gu Choi, “A Bi-level Service Capacity Planning Model with Interdependent MDP Followers” [poster]
This work investigates capacity planning decision of an on-demand service system operator who is faced with unpredictable server availability issues originating from server autonomy. We model this server availability as an outcome of an equilibrium behavior of multiple markovian-decision-making servers and investigate a bi-level model to shape this equilibrium.
