Bio

I am Assistant Professor, School of Electrical Engineering, Korea University as well as Adjunct Assistant Professor of Health and Biomedical Informatics, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (from 2014/3). Before I joined Korea University, I was a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Northwestern University (2013/8~2014/2). I had postdoctoral training jointly in Wong Lab (Prof. Wing H. Wong) in Statistics and Genome TechnologyCenter (Prof. Ronald W. Davis)  in Medical School, Stanford University  (2011/4~2013/7). My research is in the interdisplinary fields of translational systems medicine, biomedical informatics, high-throughput genomics, and biostatistics. Through my graduate and postdoctoral research, I have been working with people in the Glue Grant program, Inflammation and the Host Response to Injury , a large-scale collaborative program directed  Prof. Ronald G. Tompkins in Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University.

I got my doctoral degree from Electrical Engineering, Stanford University, in 2011. My graduate research was done at the Genome Technology Center for developing high-throughput genomic tools and computational methods for large-scale clinical research. Prof. Ronald W. Davis, director of the Center, was my PhD advisor. My thesis title is “Technology and Method Developments for High-throughput Translational Medicine”. I did my undergraduate in Electrical Engineering, Korea Adavance Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea.

I was born and grown in Seoul, Korea. I am married and have a son. I like to watch TV shows and play golf.
