About

I'm interested in developing efficient numerical optimization algorithms for statistical data analyses, focusing on online non-smooth convex regularization problems.

I received my Ph.D. degree (major in optimization, minor in statistics) from the Computer Sciences Department of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in 2011. From the same university I obtained my second master's degree in Computer Science, in 2008. I was born in South Korea, and before coming to the USA I studied in Seoul National University and received my bachelor's (summa cum laude) and my first master's degree (artificial intelligence/bioinformatics) in Computer Sciences and Engineering, in 2003 and 2005, respectively. I'm working in the Collaborative Research Center (SFB876) at TU Dortmund since August, 2011, as a postdoc researcher.
