About Me

Hi, I am an assistant professor at Korea Military Academy, located in Seoul, South Korea. I am broadly interested in survey sampling and missing data analysis. I received my PhD from Department of Statistics, Iowa State University in 2024. My dissertation advisor is Professor Jae-Kwang Kim. I was a research assistant at Center for Survey Statistics and Methodology (CSSM) at Iowa State University from 2020 to 2024.

My research focuses on developing rigorous and practical statistical methods for complex survey data and missing data problems. Specifically, my work centers on a few key areas:

(1) Calibration weighting and generalized entropy methods for survey sampling;
(2) Debiased estimation and data integration under selection bias;
(3) High-dimensional regression and variable selection in survey settings.
