Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science at Chungbuk National University, where I am leading the Data Mining (DM) Lab. Prior to joining CBNU, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Information at University of Michigan with Prof. Qiaozhu Mei. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Hanyang University under the supervision of Prof. Sang-Wook Kim. My research interests mainly lie in data mining and machine learning on various types of graph data (including but not limited to graph, signed graph, and hypergraphs) with a special focus on exploring knowledge for real-world applications.
