Summary

As an undergraduate student majoring in computer engineering and double majoring in economics, I am interested in problems where combinatorial structures meet financial decision-making. I am currently studying graph theory under the guidance of Professor Jungho Ahn. In addition, I present at a paper review seminar with the research team of my university's quantitative finance club, where I have been working through the information filtering network literature in sequence, from PMFG to more recent decision-focused approaches. Along with this, I am reading Active Portfolio Management chapter by chapter and presenting it to the group members.

My coursework projects have followed the same interest. These include redefining a given classification task to remove target leakage, and formulating retirement asset liquidation as a constrained cost-minimization problem.
