About me

My name is Jiyoung Park. I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Statistics at Texas A&M University, advised by Anirban Bhattacharya. Concurrently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Mathematics under the guidance of Jonathan W. Siegel, in collaboration with Stephan Wojtowytsch. My current research interests include (but are not limited to) statistical learning theory, approximation theory, optimization theory, and optimal transport.

I completed my undergraduate studies at Seoul National University, where I double majored in Economics and Statistics, with a minor in Computer Science and Engineering. After graduation and prior to beginning my Ph.D., I worked as a Research Resident at KC-ML2, conducting research on graph neural networks and reinforcement learning under the supervision of Chan Y. Park.
