BIOGRAPHY  I was born in Incheon, Korea. I got BS degree in Computer Sciences and Statistics, Seoul National University (1998) and MS degree in Statistics at Seoul National University (2000). I completed Ph.D. coursework at the same university in 2002 but I stopped my study in order to do my military service. After military service, I joined Ph.D. program of Statistics, Texas A&M University in 2005 under the supervision of two brilliant professors Jianhua Huang and Raymond Carroll.
This is a current CV.

EXPERIENCES  During the period of MS and Ph.D. student, which is 1999~2000, I worked as a biostatistical consultant at Statistical Consulting Center of the School of Medicine, SNU. At there my main duty was to help medical doctors and researchers who want to analyze medical data arising from real fields. In 2004, I was a statistical researcher at Seoul National University Biomedical Informatics (SNUBI) Lab in the School of Medicine, SNU where I was involved in developing web-based microarray data analysis tool. My main duty was to construct the statistical engine in the web server.

TEACHING  I taught STAT201-501 in 2008 spring academic year. This class webpage is protected by password and accessible from only class students. You can enter this under my permission if you want.
Previously I tought an undergraduate level course, which is equivalent to the traditional Elementary Biostatistics class, in University of Seoul, Korea in 2004. And I worked as a GANT (Graduate Assistant NonTeaching) in Statistics, TAMU several years for many classes including STAT211(5 times), STAT307(2), STAT407, STAT601, STAT607(2), STAT608, STAT610, STAT613(2), STAT651, STAT652, STAT659. 

RESEARCH INTERESTS  My original research interests were on biostatistics, generalized linear models and microarray data analysis. But now my interests are changed little bit. My current research areas of interest are multivariate analysis, statistical learning, functional data analysis, correlated binary data and skew-elliptical distribution and its applications. And methodologies of interest are dimension reduction, latent variable modeling, regularization method and optimization. I'm currently working on those areas, especially an extension of principal component analysis to the binary data and functional data.
