About Me
I am a fifth-year mathematics PhD student at Stanford University. My advisor is
Amir Dembo.
Before coming to Stanford, I was an undergraduate at Seoul National University.
I study probability theory and its connections to statistical physics and combinatorics. A big part of my research concerns large deviations of attractive random walks and Brownian motions. Other works include random graphs and random walks on random or dynamic environments.
Here is my
CV.
