About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering at KAIST. My research interests include data mining, graph mining, and scalable machine learning. I received my Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Prof. Christos Faloutsos and supported by the KFAS Scholarship and the Siebel Scholar Fellowship. I received my B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering and my B.A. in Economics from Seoul National University.

At KAIST, I lead the Data Mining Lab.
