Hi, I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics at the University of Chicago. I am closely working with Professor Cong Ma. My doctoral study is currently supported by Kwanjeong Educational Foundation.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Mathematical Sciences from KAIST on Feb. 2022 with honors (Summa Cum Laude and the KAIST Presidential Award).

Research interest

My research interest lies at the span of high-dimensional probability and statistics, machine learning, and optimization. In particular, I mainly work on the following topics:

  • Statistical learning under distribution shifts: offline reinforcement learning, off-policy evaluation, and distributionally robust optimization.

  • Optimization for machine learning: online learning algorithms, minimax optimization, and game dynamics.

  • Sampling algorithms and theoretical foundations of diffusion models.
