About me 

I'm an Assistant Professor in Department of Statistics, Seoul National University.

During 2017-2020, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow/Research Associate in Department of Biostatistics,  Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, mentored by Francesca Dominici. I received my Ph. D. at the University of Pennsylvania in 2017 under the supervision of Dylan S. Small. My primary interest is developing statistical methods for causal inference. 

Education

Ph.D., Applied Mathematics and Computational Science (emphasis in Statistics),            University of Pennsylvania, 2017 

A.M., Statistics, University of Pennsylvania, 2016

B.S., Mathematics and Economics, Seoul National University, 2010

Research Interests

Broadly speaking, I'm interested in developing statistical methods for causal inference. More specifically, I focus on developing nonparametric methods for instrumental variable models and discovering effect modification in observational studies. I'm also interested in applying the methods I developed to areas such as epidemiology, public health and medicine to answer practical real-world questions.
