About me

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Statistics at Chung-Ang University, South Korea. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2014. Before joining Chung-Ang University in 2019, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minnesota and as a Staff Engineer at Samsung Research.

My research focuses on developing machine learning and deep learning methods for complex real-world data, particularly audio, biomedical signals, and biological sequences. I am especially interested in robust and interpretable AI, representation learning, and their applications to challenging problems in healthcare and audio understanding.

Research Interests

• Machine Learning & Deep Learning: Representation learning, robust and interpretable AI, and foundation models
• Audio & Speech AI: Audio deepfake detection, audio-language models, and acoustic event understanding
• Biomedical Signal Analysis: Deep learning for ECG, EEG, PCG, and wearable physiological signals
• Computational Biology & Biostatistics: Genomics, gene expression prediction, and statistical learning for biological data
