Background

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvaina, mentored by Prof. Eric J. Tchetgen Tchetgen. In May 2022, I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I was advised by Prof. Hyunseung Kang. Prior to joining the Ph.D. program in July 2017, I worked as a statistician for two and a half years at the Central Bank of Korea. I received a B.S. in Statistics from Seoul National University.

My research broadly focuses on (a) causal inference under interference and non-i.i.d. settings, (b) causal inference under unmeasured confounding, and (c) optimal treatment regimes and policy learning. A common theme in my research is to use non/semiparametric theory and optimization methods to develop efficient and robust estimators of causal quantities in (a)-(c).
