I am a Professor in the Department of Statistics at Virginia Tech, where I have been a faculty member since Fall 2007. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from Texas A&M University under the supervision of Dr. Raymond J. Carroll, and subsequently completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in the Department of Biostatistics at Yale University under the mentorship of Dr. Hongyu Zhao. I also hold an M.S. in Applied Statistics from Yonsei University, Republic of Korea.

My research focuses on the development of semiparametric and nonparametric functional methods for analyzing highly correlated and high-dimensional data. I am broadly interested in advancing both frequentist and Bayesian methodologies, particularly those motivated by complex real-world problems that require innovative statistical solutions.
