Research

My primary research interest lies in the areas of personalized medicine, risk prediction, effect heterogeneity, variable selection, machine learning, and their applications in health sciences. I am dedicated to developing new statistical methodologies and collaborating with other investigators to conduct applied research in biomedical domains. I have developed a penalized regression-based learning procedure to construct optimal personalized dynamic treatment regimes, which can be inferred from accrued patient information and intervention effects. Additionally, I have led several research projects, including risk stratification using tree-based machine learning models and two-stage modeling to address patient heterogeneity.

Regarding collaborative efforts, I have worked with researchers across various fields, including oncology, surgery, immunology, and otolaryngology, and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications. This commitment was recently recognized when I received the AWSM Collaboration Award, highlighting my contributions to advancing team science.

About

I received a BA and an MA in Statistics from Yonsei University, and a PhD in Biostatistics from Columbia University. My dissertation, co-advised by Drs. Min Qian and Ken Cheung, focused on statistical methods for optimal treatment regimes in personalized medicine and mobile health. After completing my PhD, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Dr. Jinbo Chen. Upon finishing my postdoc, I joined the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research as an Assistant Professor.

A fun fact about me

I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷 and have lived in several cities around the world 🌍. These include Ann Arbor, MI 💙💛; Basel, Switzerland🇨🇭; and Poitiers, France 🇫🇷. Since 2014, I have been based in New York City 🗽, with a two-year stay in Philadelphia, PA 🏛️ in between. I have truly enjoyed connecting with local communities in the lovely cities of Ann Arbor, Basel, and Poitiers. At the same time, I have a deep appreciation for the vibrancy of larger cities like Seoul and NYC. Also, as a fellow coffee lover, I am always up for sipping coffee and having a good conversation along the caffeine journey. Just say when ☕!
