Welcome to the site!

Welcome! I am Sowon, an incoming Statistics PhD student at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business.

I completed my master’s at the University of Chicago, Department of Statistics. During my master’s, I was lucky to be advised by Professor Claire Donnat, and worked with Professor Lek-heng Lim. Before coming to UChicago, I received my B.A in Applied Statistics from Yonsei University, Korea.

My research interest broadly lies in machine learning, high-dimensional statistics and optimization.
