About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Chung-Ang University.

Before joining Chung-Ang University, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Milan, New York University, and the University of Arizona. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematical Sciences from KAIST.

My research focuses on the mathematical and statistical foundations of machine learning, particularly reinforcement learning, bandits, online learning, and high-dimensional statistics.
