Hi, I am a third-year PhD student in the Statistics and Data Science department at Cornell University. My research interest lies in high-dimensional statistics, computational statistics, and financial machine learning. My current research topics are 1. Developing efficient algorithms for statistical problems under the guidance of Professor Sumanta Basu and 2. Using machine learning methods on prediction problems combined with microstructure measures, collaborating with Professor David Easley. Before joining Cornell University, I previously earned my Masters degree in applied statistics at Korea University, South Korea. My thesis was on cyber risk measurement via loss distribution approach and GARCH model. As an extension of my research during my master's, I am also interested in economic risk problems, especially operational risk and credit risk. I look forward to solving these problems by applying the prediction methods I study during my PhD research.I am open to new experiences and actively seeking internship positions for the 2025 Summer!
