About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of AI and the School of Electrical Engineering (Computer Division) at KAIST. I received my Ph.D. 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. My research interests include data mining, graph mining, and scalable machine learning.

At KAIST, I lead the Data Mining Lab.
