About me

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics at Rutgers University. I am fortunate to be advised by Professors Zijian Guo and Nicole E. Pashley. Before that, I received my master’s degree in Statistics from Seoul National University in 2020 and my bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Science from the same institution in 2018.

Research

I am broadly interested in causal inference. In particular, I am interested in two perspectives on causal inference that differ in their assumptions about the source of randomness: the model-based perspective and the design-based perspective.
