Assistant Professor at Chung-Ang University

I am an assistant professor working at Chung-Ang University. Before this, I did my postdoc with Prof. Nicolò Cesa-Bianchi at Università degil Studi di Milano, Prof. Komiyama Junpei at NYU, and Prof. Kwang-Sung Jun at the University of Arizona. I got my Ph.D. in the Department of Mathematical Science at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) with the advisor Wanmo Kang.

My research interests lie in statistical machine-learning problems, such as
  • Reinforcement learning (bandit)
    • High-dimensional bandits (sparse, bilinear, etc.)
    • Best arm identification
  • Generalization bounds (PAC-Bayes bound)
  • Generative model (GAN, VAE)
  • Other probabilistic tools (Stochastic PDE, Random Matrix Theory, etc......)
