Biography

I am a fifth-year graduate student at Rice University in Computer Science Department working with Dr. Luay K. Nakhleh.  
I received B.S. from Computer Science Department at Yonsei University, South Korea,
and Masters degree from Computer Science Department at Texas A&M University, under the direction of Dr. Tiffani L. Williams.
I am currently working on reconstructing phylogenetic networks under DLT model.
My research interests also include Phylogenetics, Population Genetics, and biological network analysis.
